It is with great pleasure that we announce the 2025 Royal Savoy Ball (Ballo di Savoia) 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.
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 2025 theme for the Royal Savoy Ball.
This year, we feel very privileged to honor Robert and Francesca Agostinelli of Palm Beach, Monaco, London, and Paris—dedicated supporters of the American Italian Cancer Foundation (AICF), the beneficiary of this year’s Gala. AICF funds vital programs including mobile, no-cost breast cancer screenings and fellowships supporting promising Italian cancer research scientists. Learn more at americanitaliancancer.org.
We warmly invite you to join us to share in 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.
