Maria Vittoria Carlotta Enrichetta Giovanna dal Pozzo, born on August ninth, eighteen forty-seven, was an illustrious Italian noblewoman who held the title of the sixth Princess of Cisterna d'Asti and of Belriguardo. Her life was marked by her marriage to Amadeo, Duke of Aosta, in eighteen sixty-seven, who would later ascend to the Spanish throne.
As the wife of King Amadeo I, Maria Vittoria became Queen of Spain on November sixteenth, eighteen seventy. Her reign as queen consort was brief, lasting until February eleventh, eighteen seventy-three, when her husband abdicated after a tumultuous three-year rule. The couple then returned to Italy, where they sought a quieter life away from the political turmoil of Spain.
Maria Vittoria's legacy is intertwined with her noble lineage and her role as a queen during a pivotal time in Spanish history. She passed away in Sanremo, Italy, on November eighth, eighteen seventy-six, leaving behind a story of royal duty and personal sacrifice.
