The succession to the Italian throne was the system used by the House of Savoy for the transmission of the title of King of Italy. Following the constitutional changes of 1946 and the cessation of the royal title, the succession today exclusively identifies the Head of the House of Savoy and regulates his succession.
Vittorio Emanuele, Prince of Naples, has been acting as Head of the House since the death of King Umberto II in 1983, but this title and the prerogatives due to it (the grand magisterium of the Savoy dynastic orders and the title of Duke of Savoy) were contested by Prince Amedeo, Duke of Aosta. This dispute arose following the unauthorized marriage by Umberto II between Vittorio Emanuele and Marina Doria, a situation that would have placed, according to the dynastic legislation of the House of Savoy, Vittorio Emanuele himself and his descendants outside the line of succession.
According to Vittorio Emanuele's supporters, the Head of the House can legitimately modify the dynastic succession criteria autonomously and unilaterally, although this never happened in the past during the ten centuries of the dynasty's reign.
In this case, according to a modification of the dynastic laws made by Vittorio Emanuele in 2019, the succession would currently follow the criterion of equal primogeniture and the title of Head of the House would go to the firstborn son regardless of sex.
On the other hand, the supporters of Prince Aimone, Duke of Apulia, claim the dynastic succession laws can be modified only in two ways: with the effective combined exercise of the powers of the Crown and Parliament,[2][3][4] or with an agreement written estimate and signed by all the adult princes of the family.[5] These conditions are missing, given the current republican order of the State and no prior agreement has been drawn up among all the adult princes of the House of Savoy, again according to the supporters of Aimone it would not be possible for Vittorio Emanuele to make unilateral to the aforementioned laws. The succession, therefore, would follow the criterion of male primogeniture according to the Salic law, ie it would be based on the regulation that remained "crystallized" in June 1946, in force at the time of the cessation of the monarchical institution in Italy.[6]
