Inside, the final preparations for the funeral are underway.
Among those present, the list of guests released yesterday includes Fuad of Egypt representing the Egyptian royal family, and the grand master of the Order of Malta.
Emanuele Filiberto also carried out an inspection to define the places because, beyond the protocol, the Savoys intend to have their closest family friends close to them.
Vittorio Emanuele's closest relatives will take their places in front of the chapel which houses the Shroud, which was donated to the Diocese by Umberto II.
