Garden Dedicated to Princess Romanework Haile Selassie Opened in Turin

A garden in Turin, Italy, has been officially dedicated to Princess Romanework Haile Selassie, an exiled member of the Ethiopian royal family. The site is located in the city's Filadelfia neighborhood, situated between Via Uffreduzzi and Via Arduino. The dedication took place on October 14, 2026, marking the anniversary of the Princess's death in Turin in 1940 at the age of 27. Her life was profoundly impacted by the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, which led to her long captivity and separation from her homeland. This gesture commemorates her difficult history and connection to the city where she ultimately passed away.
