Modern¹ Italy had two queens and a bit.
The third one was only queen for a few months and then we got rid of the whole thing.
The second one, Elena, whose husband was busy making sure that Italy would become a republic soon², devoted herself to charitable work. I don't think it makes her especially worth of merit, but if you are stuck as a woman born in a royal house in the 1800s and are a baseline good person, that's one of the things you do.
The first one, Margerita, was a reactionary asshole who encouraged the shooting of protestors and was an enthusiastic supporter of fascism.
Guess which one is being celebrated with a stamp this year?
¹ there was a kingdom of Italy in the middle ages, but that's a different matter
² this may have not been his aim -

² this may have not been his aimL'Italia moderna¹ ha avuto due regine e un pezzetto.
La terza è stata regina per qualche mese e poi ci si è liberati di tutto quanto.
La seconda, Elena, il cui marito era impegnato a far sì che l'italia diventasse una repubblica², si è dedicata alle opere di carità: non credo che conti come particolare merito, ma se sei una persona bene o male buona che si trova ad essere una donna nata in una casa reale nell'ottocento, è una delle cose che puoi fare.
La prima, Margerita, era una stronza reazionaria che incoraggiava a sparare alle folle in protesta e supportava entusiasticamente il fascismo.
Indovinate a chi hanno dedicato un francobollo quest'anno?
¹ c'è stato un regno d'Italia nel medioevo, ma è una storia diversa
² potrebbe non essere stato il suo obiettivo -
