No rooms in Raccogni

September 17, 1925

Even though that "every available sleeping place is occupied or reserved," hundreds of visitors, including royal aids, are pouring into the mountain town of Racconigi to attend the wedding of Princess Mafalda of Italy and Prince Philipp of Hesse, according to the Associated Press.
There are no rooms available for Premier Mussolini's staff. Mussolini, as Crown Notary, will perform the civil ceremony.
Workmen are currently redecorating in red and gold the rooms at the palace which will be used for the wedding dinner and entertainment.
The wedding will take place on September 23.
