Pope Pie XII (7th-L) pose for a photograph with queen Elena of Italy (7th-R) and king Victor Emmanuel III (6th-R) during an official visit at the Vatican on December 27, 1939. The body of Italy's controversial king Victor Emmanuel III returned to Italy on December 17, amid a row over where the monarch who abetted dictator Benito Mussolini should be buried. The body of Victor Emmanuel's wife, Princess Elena of Montenegro, or Queen Elena of Italy, was brought from France to the Sanctuary two days before, and her husband is expected to be laid next to her. / AFP PHOTO / -
