It is with great pleasure that we announce the Royal Savoy Ball - Ballo di Savoia 2026, held under the patronage and in the presence of His Royal Highness Prince Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia, Duke of Savoy, Prince of Piedmont, Prince of Venice. He is the Grand Master of the Dynastic Orders of the Royal House of Savoy.

While the American Foundation of Savoy Orders was founded in 1993, it proudly upholds the enduring spirit of honor, friendship, and service that has defined the historic Savoy orders for nearly a thousand years. This rich legacy inspires our 2026 theme for the Royal Savoy Ball.

We will be honoring Geoffroy van Raemdonck, Chief Executive Officer of the Exemplar Luxury Group, who enjoys a long history of devoting time to philanthropic efforts and community initiatives, with a focus on the arts, music education and nurturing the next generation of talent. This year’s Ballo proceeds benefit the New York Philharmonic Youth Mentorship Program.

The Ballo is chaired by H.R.H. Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia and Dame Giosetta Capriati of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St. George.

We warmly invite you to join us for this memorable evening of tradition and charity.

We look forward to welcoming you to this special celebration rooted in a proud heritage of chivalry and service.

H.R.H. Prince Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia
