So you think you had an ominously bad day?

Maria Vittoria married Amedeo Duke of Aosta, the future King Amadeo of Spain on May 30, 1867. That same day...

  • The best man shot himself.
  • The Palace Gatekeeper slit his throat.
  • The King's aide died after falling from his horse.
  • The bride's wardrobe mistress hanged herself.
  • The colonel leading the wedding procession collapsed from sunstroke.
  • The stationmaster was crushed to death under the wheels of the honeymoon train.

    Is it any surprise that within a few years, she was complaining to her father-in-law, the King of Italy, that Amedeo was cheating on her?
