Humberto II

Humberto II was the last king of Italy, reigning for a brief period in 1946 before Italy became a republic. His reign was marked by political turmoil and the aftermath of World War II, and he is often referred to as the 'May King' due to his short time on the throne. After the monarchy was abolished, he lived in exile in Portugal until his death in 1983. Humberto II is remembered for his attempts to modernize the monarchy and his brief but significant role in Italian history.
