I NOSTRI AVI

Gentilissimi Amici,

non entro nel merito della ormai infinita diatriba su quale sia l'unico vero Ramo dell'Ordine Costantiniano di San Giorgio.

Mi chiedo, e vi chiedo invece se siete a conoscenza di quali onorificenze sono insigniti i rispettivi Gran Maestri dei due rami(Spagna/Napoli), il Principe Don Carlos Borbone delle Due Sicilie e il Principe Carlo Borbone delle Due Sicilie.


Ringrazio chiunque vorrà rispondermi.

Cordialmente

FCdM
