Queen Marie of Romania commemorated with plaque in Naples

A commemorative plaque dedicated to Queen Marie of Romania has been unveiled in Naples' Virgiliano Park on the Posillipo hill. The ceremony was attended by Romania's Ambassador to Italy, Gabriela Dancău, Honorary Consul General Gilda Pacifico, and Naples Deputy Mayor Laura Lieto.

The initiative highlights the historical and cultural connection between Queen Marie and southern Italy, a region she frequently referenced in her writings. Ambassador Dancău noted that the plaque serves to inscribe the Queen's name into the collective memory of Naples and acts as a symbol of Romanian-Italian friendship.

Queen Marie is recognized as a significant figure in Romanian history for her role in the country's development and her service during World War I. The event is part of ongoing cultural diplomacy efforts between Romania and Italy to promote shared historical heritage.
