‘An electrifying moment': Charles and Camilla visit sparks Ravenna tourism boom
If the most satisfying thing for anyone giving a guided tour is speaking to an enthusiastic and curious listener, then Diego Saglia felt he royally hit the jackpot when he met Queen Camilla in Ravenna. The queen, who was in the northern Italian city with King Charles during a state visit to the country in early April, was so enamoured of her visit to a museum dedicated to the British poet and satirist Lord Byron that she kept her husband waiting in the courtyard. She lingered over Byron's original manuscripts, locks of his curly hair and the love letters he wrote to Countess Teresa Guiccioli. The king paid an impromptu visit to the museum, which opened in November, when he went to collect the queen after his own personal tour of the city's Basilica of San Vitale, known for its Byzantine mosaics dating back to the sixth century. 'Darling, come and meet these people,' the queen beckoned to Charles, who duly greeted the staff and posed for selfies while praising the museum, which is located in the residence where the poet completedDon Juan and The Prophecy of Dante during his stay in 1819-21. 'It was an electrifying moment,' said Saglia, an English literature professor at the University of Parma and a member of the museum's scientific committee. 'We had not long been open, and then these exceptional visitors arrived. Camilla was great and then the king showing up was an incredible surprise. He couldn't stop talking about the beauty of the mosaics, but Camilla kept telling him: 'But no, I've found interesting stuff here.'' The royal couple's obvious appreciation of Ravenna, an elegant city in Emilia-Romagna brimming with art and culture, and where the poet Dante Alighieri is buried, has left its mark. Not only did their fleeting trip attract hundreds of union jack-waving visitors from beyond the city, but it has since prompted a significant increase in tourists, particularly from the UK. Saglia said the city, especially during the weekend, was now packed. But as Rome, Florence and Venice grapple with overtourism, people in Ravenna, which has thus far remained off the well-trodden path, have welcomed the royal influence on tourism, and were proud that the city was the only one in Italy the couple visited after the capital. 'We are very happy because obviously the visit provided an important international showcase,' said Maria Grazia Marini, the director of tourism services at Ravenna's city council. 'The people of Ravenna are very proud of their heritage, so the fact that they came was truly a source of pride. The city dressed up for the party and many people were involved.' Sign up to This is Europe The most pressing stories and debates for Europeans – from identity to economics to the environment after newsletter promotion Giacomo Costantini, Ravenna's tourism councillor, said visitor numbers were up by 16% in April compared with the same month in 2024, with most coming from England. While the launch this year of British Airways flights to Federico Fellini airport in nearby Rimini had helped, Costantini put the increase down to the 'beautiful bond of love between Ravenna and England'. 'We have a shared passion for poets and writers, whether it be Dante or Shakespeare,' he said. 'This connection was then crowned by the opening of the Byron museum.' All the hotels are fully booked this weekend for the start of the Ravenna festival, which includes concerts directed by the Italian conductor Riccardo Muti, who lives in the city. Fabio Ricci, a spokesperson for the Bryon museum and the festival, had no doubt the royals would put Ravenna in the spotlight. 'Ravenna is a city that combines, within a few kilometres, extraordinary art, high-quality entertainment and beautiful nature, including pine forests and the sea,' he said. 'On top of that, you have good food. What more do you want from life?'

In Italy, a Canadian has a 'very humbling experience' meeting with King Charles
Hello, royal watchers. This is your regular dose of royal news and analysis. Reading this online? Sign up here to get this delivered to your inbox. After you've met someone briefly, there can be that moment when you think: There was something I didn't get a chance to say. Maj. Casey Anderson, a military intelligence officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, had that thought after he chatted with King Charles and received a King's Coronation Medal from him recently in the Italian coastal city of Ravenna. Charles was in Ravenna commemorating the 80th anniversary of the area's liberation during the Second World War, a military effort in which both Canadian and British forces played a role. In 1944, Anderson's grandfather "was wounded liberating the city of Ravenna," Anderson said via Zoom from Italy, where he is stationed at NATO's Allied Joint Force Command Naples. Anderson's grandfather didn't actually make it right into Ravenna during that military campaign, "And so [that was] actually one of the things … which I didn't get the chance to tell His Majesty but maybe would have been quite interesting," Anderson said. "It was cathartic for me … to be invited to participate in this event." Canada's King's Coronation Medal was created to mark Charles's coronation on May 6, 2023. A total of 30,000 medals are being awarded to Canadians who have "made a significant contribution" to their community, province, territory or country, at home or abroad. Of the medal total, 4,000 are for members of the CAF. Ceremonies have been taking place across Canada to award the medals. Anderson, 37, says it's all "quite surreal" how he happened to receive his medal, along with two other Canadians, from the King in Italy. (Charles, while he was in Italy, made a point — unusual in such an international setting — of noting that he is King of Canada.) The medal "is not the sort of thing that [Charles] would normally personally give out," Anderson said. "This is not only a very humbling experience, but it's also extra unusual because it's happening abroad." Anderson was chosen for the medal to honour his research and advocacy to preserve the legacy of the Canadian Corps Cyclist Battalion, a First World War forerunner of the CAF's current military intelligence branch. Circumstances and logistics, however, played into the fact that Anderson received it in Italy. He had been slated to get it in Ottawa earlier in the year, but for various reasons, getting there from his home in Naples would have been difficult. Several weeks after learning he would be receiving the medal, he was asked if he could be in Ravenna in April, although details were slim on exactly why. Then his military chain of command also asked him to go to Ravenna in April, leading a Canadian delegation to take part in the liberation ceremony. "I am an intelligence officer, so I was starting to put two and two together," Anderson said. Looking back, Anderson figures he was able to speak with Charles for a minute and a half or two minutes. The King was "unbelievably gracious" and charming, Anderson said. "In our brief interaction, [he was] using humour, asking about my family, asking me about my role in Italy," he said. "I don't think he knows why I was actually receiving the award, but he congratulated me nonetheless for whatever I had done to receive it. "It was for me a profoundly important moment in my military career and my life as a very proud Canadian individual." While King Charles was in Canada this week, other Canadians reflected on their own receipt of a Coronation Medal. "It was a real honour and a reflection of what everybody who got the award, the medal, how much they've done and what a great community that they've created, either in their own community or globally," Sherry Benson-Podolchuk, a retired RCMP officer who has done extensive work around workplace harassment and bullying, told the CBC's chief correspondent Adrienne Arsenault in an interview from Gimli, Man. "And it's just a ripple effect of good work, kindness, authenticness and wanting to make the world a better place." WATCH | Coronation Medal recipients reflect on their experience: Hear from 2 recipients of the King Charles III Coronation Medal 4 days ago Duration 6:54 Medals specifically associated with events like coronations and jubilees started to be popularized in the early 20th century, says Justin Vovk, a royal historian at McMaster University in Hamilton. "While orders of chivalry and knighthood were still somewhat bound to the old class system, medals were a way of including more of the monarch's subjects with these important milestones in their reigns." After the First and Second World Wars, they also became an important way for the Crown to recognize the service and contributions of ordinary men and women, Vovk said via email. "The way that medals are now used also serves to reflect the values of the monarchy, specifically in promoting service to our communities and our neighbours." For Anderson, receiving the medal from Charles was an "incredible" experience. "The thing that I've been telling people about in the aftermath of this event is — and I recognize that [Charles has] had a lot of practice — but the almost superhuman ability [he has] to connect with people in short snippets and also not to come across as utterly exhausted … and to put on a brave face, stiff upper lip, whatever you want to call it — it was amazing." Anderson was also left marvelling at how Charles carried out his role that day, under the scrutiny of cameras, deploying "statecraft on the global stage." He also considers Charles to be "incredibly impressive" in "his ability to navigate the complex world in which we live and to act as a diplomat for Canada and in the interest of Canada and all of the other realms in which he is head of state." "It's incredible and part of that thing which I've found deeply humbling as part of this whole experience." A boost in popularity for King Charles Our friend in the CBC Politics bureau, J.P. Tasker, had this report the other day: King Charles is enjoying a popularity boost and there is considerably more support for maintaining Canada's ties to the Crown now than when he assumed the throne, according to public opinion polls released this week around his two-day visit to deliver a historic throne speech. After the long-reigning and hugely popular Queen Elizabeth died in 2022, there was talk across the Commonwealth realms, including in Canada, about whether it was time to do away with the Crown and embrace republicanism. The U.K.-based Lord Ashcroft firm released a poll ahead of Charles's coronation showing particularly dire levels of support for the monarchy in Canada, finding this country ranked close to last among the 15 countries that have the King as their head of state. At the time, just 23 per cent of the 2,020 Canadian respondents surveyed as part of that poll said they would vote to keep the Crown if there was a referendum, Lord Ashcroft found. The picture has changed dramatically in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump's 51st state taunts and sovereignty threats, which have prompted a revival of national pride and newfound affinity for Canadian institutions and symbols, polls suggest. Also, some people here have got to know Charles better and like what they see, pollsters say. Polling firm Pollara surveyed 3,400 Canadians between May 20 and 24 and found Charles's popularity in Canada has risen substantially since the last time the firm polled on the issue in 2022, with the number of people holding a positive view of the sovereign up seven percentage points to 44 per cent and those with a negative view down 10 points to 23 per cent. That growth in personal popularity has fuelled support for Canada remaining a constitutional monarchy, Pollara found, with more respondents saying they want the country to keep the Crown (45 per cent) compared to the number who say they want it gone (39 per cent) — a reversal from the last poll the firm did when a plurality of people reported they want to cut ties. In an interview with CBC News, Dan Arnold, chief strategy officer at Pollara, said there has been a "statistically significant" increase in support for Charles and maintaining the Crown in Canada. "Canadians are feeling better about the Crown and I would speculate that's probably because they're looking for a little bit of stability in a world that feels unstable right now. And there's nothing more stable than an institution that's been around for multiple centuries," Arnold said. "This is, to some extent, seen as an institution that gives us something in this fight with Trump." He noted that while Charles's numbers still aren't as high as his mother's were, "we see a clear increase in terms of the people who feel good about him and a sharp decline in his negatives." Arnold says Charles's performance as King is part of the reason why. "Charles came to power at a time when there was a lot of controversy around him — anybody who's watched The Crown or followed the news for the last 30 years knows all about that — and he's been able to put some of that behind him or at least tamp it down a bit during his time on the throne," Arnold said, adding Charles's cancer battle may also have prompted some sympathy. An Ipsos poll, also released this week, found 66 per cent of the 1,000 people it surveyed in May say Canada's relationship with the monarchy is useful because it sets us apart from our neighbours to the south who live in a presidential republic — up from 54 per cent who said the same in April 2023. Sixty-five per cent of the Ipsos respondents said the monarchy is an important part of Canada's heritage, up from 58 per cent two years ago. There's also been a drop in respondents who say Canada should cut ties to the Crown, falling from a high of 60 per cent in January 2020 to 46 per cent now — a result roughly in line with what Pollara found. And it's not just polls that suggest Charles is enjoying a better standing in Canada — the monarch drew sizable crowds throughout Ottawa on his tour with Queen Camilla this week. The turnout was stronger than what greeted him on his 2022 visit, when he came as Prince of Wales. Thousands of cheering spectators snaked through the parliamentary precinct to catch a glimpse of Charles in the landau ahead of his speech, a warm reception that appeared to prompt some emotion from the sovereign. "Royals don't normally 'do' emotion, at least they do their very best to hide whatever feeling they have. But for some reason, King Charles seemed unable to do that on this occasion at the end of a short, but highly significant, visit," British broadcaster ITV noted in its coverage of the speech. "It was the warmest of welcomes and the fondest of returns to a nation and a people we love," Charles and Camilla said in a joint statement after their visit. John Fraser, founding president of the Institute for the Study of the Crown in Canada, said he doesn't pay much attention to polls — support for the monarchy can go up and down depending on what's in the news. But Fraser said it is evident more people are rallying around the Crown now than they were just a few years ago. "Mr. Chrétien was on to something when he said we should give the Order of Canada to Trump," Fraser said in an interview referring to the former prime minister's quip, adding that the Trump factor has breathed new life into many Canadian institutions, not just the monarchy. "The president may well have given the Crown in Canada a leg up," he said. Charles's Canadian sovereignty talk in the throne speech this week — and his pledge that the country is "indeed" the True North "strong and free" — also likely gave the Crown's standing a boost, Fraser said, especially among people who were clamouring to see the head of state say something as the country faces Trump's annexationist musings. WATCH | The full throne speech read by King Charles: FULL SPEECH | King Charles delivers speech from the throne 5 days ago Duration 28:24 King Charles, speaking from the Senate chamber on Tuesday, delivered a speech from the throne that acknowledged the worry that comes with a 'drastically changing world' — including a changing relationship between Canada and the U.S. But the speech also looked forward, pointing to government plans to increase affordability, take on major projects and build a strong economy that 'serves everyone.' "I thought he handled himself impeccably," he said. "This throne speech really cemented Charles's role in Canada," added Robert Finch, chairman of the Monarchist League of Canada. "I've always said the real threat against the monarchy isn't republicanism per se but apathy. Well, after this week, there's a real sense of renewed interest in this institution." He said republicans were counting on an unpopular King Charles to sever Canada's ties to the monarchy. "I just don't think that's going to present itself now," Finch said. "There are certain moments in history that can make or break something and I think this particular tour, in some part due to the timing and the Trump factor, helped make King Charles's position in Canada secure and for that I'm very grateful." WATCH | King Charles and Queen Camilla wrap up visit: King Charles leaves Canada after throne speech 4 days ago Duration 2:40 Still, some chafed at the idea of Charles taking a stand for Canada in the face of Trump. "We're telling Donald Trump, 'You're not the foreign billionaire who's our boss. This is the foreign billionaire who's our boss,'" said Pierre Vincent, a spokesperson for Citizens for a Canadian Republic. 'Exciting' and 'surreal' to meet King Charles As short as King Charles's visit to Ottawa was this week, several Canadians did have a chance to meet briefly with him. Sarah Vickery, director of programming at the King's Trust Canada, and Maxwell Evans, a member of the youth council at the King's Trust, say they found it reaffirming to speak with him about the work they are doing.

Meloni is still proving her Leftie critics wrong
Giorgia Meloni's opponents and their many friends in the media are cock-a-hoop that the Left has managed to win elections in a couple of large Italian cities. They are treating the victories of the Left in Genoa and Ravenna earlier this month, when elections took place for control of 126 councils, including a handful of major cities, as the beginning of the end for Italy's first female prime minister. It helped the headline writers that the victor in Genoa was a glamorous ex Olympic hammer thrower who had delivered a mighty blow to Meloni. But it is all surely nonsense. If it were true that Meloni's days were numbered, the Right-wing party she founded, Brothers of Italy, would not be consistently leading national opinion polls by a country mile. Nor would Brothers of Italy be more popular now than in September 2022, when it received more votes than any other party at the general election to lead a Right-wing coalition to a resounding victory. Such impressive popular support halfway through the life of a parliament is virtually unprecedented in a European democracy. It is especially so in a country like Italy, which has had 68 governments since the fall of fascism in 1945. But to read the press headlines readers would be forgiven if they thought the end was truly nigh for Meloni. Elly Schlein, leader of the main opposition – the Democratic Party – reacted as if on the verge of power. 'If I were Giorgia Meloni I'd be beginning to worry, [this] is the symptom that something in her rapport with the country is broken,' she said. 'What is now clear is that the centre-Right crows about the polls but we win elections.' At least Schlein had the decency to refer to Meloni as 'centre-Right', unlike most of the global media. True, they have given up calling her 'the heir to Mussolini' because she was once in Italy's long-defunct post-fascist party. But they still call her 'far-Right' despite the fact that she has not done anything far-Right – unless you count her attempts to stop mass illegal migration across the Mediterranean. And even Sir Keir Starmer, who has had talks with her on the issue twice in the past year, has said she has made 'remarkable progress'. He wants to copy her scheme to off-shore asylum seekers from safe countries (thus technically not refugees) to Albania for swift processing of their asylum requests and deportation. Is he now 'far-Right' too? On the world stage, meanwhile, Meloni continues in the role of key player whose astute down to earth realism, infectious charm and youthful good looks often produce surprising results. What makes it even more laughable that the Left should regard victory in Genoa and Ravenna as the writing on the wall for Meloni is that traditionally these two port cities have been citadels of Italian communism. Genoa has always been among the most devoutly Left-wing cities in Italy. And Italy, it should be remembered, is the country that not only invented fascism but had the largest communist party in Europe outside the Soviet Bloc until the end of the Cold War. Schlein's party is its heir. In Ravenna, the Left won as it always has done since the fall of fascism in 1945. Worse for Schlein is that the Democratic Party did not win Genoa and Ravenna on its own but only in coalition with the anti-establishment populist party, Five Star, with which it enjoys a love-hate relationship. These two parties are normally sworn enemies but have nevertheless, on occasion, allied at local level and once at national level to form a coalition government that lasted a year and a half. Even if they were to strike a deal to fight the next general election in 2027 together they would get nowhere near enough votes to win: the Democratic Party is currently polling 22 per cent, and Five Star 12 per cent. Meloni's coalition government, by contrast, is way ahead with Brothers of Italy polling 30 per cent, and its partners Forza Italia and the League both on 9 per cent. Schlein's only hope would be to ally as well with what is called the campo largo (large field) – not just with Five Star but with the other much smaller Left-wing parties of shades of pink and red. This is what her party did in Genoa. But its real problem is Schlein's lack of charisma and winning policies. Her party seems to be, as journalist Aldo Cazzullo, no friend of the Right, wrote in the Corriere della Sera 'a little 5 per cent party of the extreme Left' with no concrete ideas. 'If there were a general election now, the Right would win convincingly,' he said. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
