Here is a photo of HRH the Duchess of Pistoia, then Duchess of Savoy-Genova (wife of HRH Filiberto of Savoy-Genova Duke of Pistoia and then Duke of Genova) wearing her diamonds sautoir and the tiara borrowed from her sister-in-law, HRH the Duchess Lucia of Ancona (née Bourbon-Two-Sicilies), wife of Lydia husband's younger brother, HRH Eugenio Duke of Ancona. This photo completed the interesting reportage on Point de Vue, by Vincent Meylan, about the sale. The Ancona tiara was worn in 2004 by HRH Princess Camilla, Duchess of Castro, for the wedding in Copenhagen of HRH Prince Frederick of Denmark to Ms Mary Donaldson. The Duchess of Castro, née Crociani, belongs to a very wealthy Italian family living in Monaco, whom apparently bought the tiara at an auction.
