Il telegrafista di Margherita

Queen Margherita chose to live the last years of her intrepid life in the luxuriant Bordighera, in the extreme west of Liguria. The authors, Silvia Alborno and Carmen Ramò, portray the figure and the life of the Queen through the eyes of many more or less local characters who had something to do with her (from the architect Luigi Broggi to Father Giacomo Viale, to Giuseppe Bessone and Miss Eileen Daly, editors of the Journal de Bordighera), but the main theme of these pages is Arturo Giacobbe, Margherita\’s trusted personal telegrapher, keeper of important secrets. This book full of images, photographs and maps of the time, besides telling us about the Queen, restores the enchanted atmosphere between the Belle Époque and the roaring Twenties, which in Bordighera will persist even after the Great War.
