  Umberto II of Italy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Umberto II, occasionally anglicized as Humbert II, (September 15, 1904 - March 18, 1983), the last King of Italy, nicknamed the King of May (Italian: Re di Maggio), was born the Prince of Piedmont.
In 1943, the Crown Princess Maria José, the daughter of King Albert I of Belgium, was involved in vain attempts to arrange a separate peace treaty between Italy and the United States, and her interlocutor from the Vatican was Monsignor Giovanni Battista Montini, a senior diplomat who later became Pope Paul VI.
Umberto and Maria José separated in exile; it was indeed an arranged marriage, following a long tradition of royal families, even if some observers alleged that she was really fascinated by her husband, an elegant tombeur de femmes.

The son of Vittorio Emanuele II and ofAdelaide, archduchess of Austria, Umberto was born at Turin, capital of the kingdom of Sardinia, on 14 March 1844.
Ascending the throne on the death of his father (9 January 1878), Umberto adopted the style "Umberto I of Italy" rather than "Umberto IV" (of Savoy), andconsented that the remains of his father should be interred at Rome in the Pantheon, and not in the royal mausoleum of Superga (see Crispi).

Umberto D. Among the many collaborations of director Vittorio De Sica and screenwriter Cesare Zavattini, Umberto D. (1952) - now available on DVD from The Criterion Collection - is generally regarded as their masterpiece and one of the last great works of neorealism.
Unfortunately, Umberto D. was attacked in its own country by Giulio Andreotti, a junior Minister of Culture who accused the film of airing the country's "dirty laundry" in public and saw it as a personal attack on Italy's government.
As a result, Umberto D. was withheld from distribution in the U.S. for three years and, for a while, all Italian films after Umberto D. which were deemed unflattering to Italian society were denied international distribution as well.
