L’Ultima Regina d’Italia is a historical novel inspired by the life of Elena Petrović, Princess of Montenegro and Queen of Italy.

Set between Montenegro and Italy, the novel tells the story of a woman torn between duty and identity, love and power, homeland and destiny. Daughter of King Nikola of Montenegro, Elena grows up between two worlds: the rugged Balkan mountains shaped by tradition and pride, and the refined European courts where dynastic fate intertwines with politics and history.

Through Elena’s journey, the novel explores femininity within monarchy, the inner strength behind the crown, and the quiet resilience of a woman who witnessed the fall of an era. Elena is not only a queen, but also a daughter, a wife, and a mother — called to sacrifice parts of herself for a role she did not choose, yet learned to embody with dignity and compassion.

The narrative follows her path from youth to her place in history as Elena of Savoy, often regarded as the last Queen of Italy, and a witness to the end of the monarchy and the transformation of an entire nation.

L’Ultima Regina d’Italia is a novel for readers drawn to history, emotion, and strong female figures — an intimate and sweeping story in which a personal destiny mirrors the profound change of a country.
