Mafalda and and Giovanna gravely ill

September 17, 1923

King Vittorio Emanuele has notified Premier Mussolini about the grave condition of Princesses Mafalda and Giovanna. The Crown Prince has been called back to Racconigi. Mussolini later received a telephone call from the king who informed him that the concern for Mafalda's health had abated. There was no official confirmation about a rumor that Mafalda had died, however.
