On Sunday, January 19th, Aris Portosalte and the philologist Vana entered us in 19th -century Greece, a period full of political tensions and social fermentations, through the personal story of Queen Amalia.

Her anecdotal letters to her father reveal her life in the palace, her thoughts, worries and ambitions, illuminating a time of transition and challenges.

The arrival of the royal couple in Athens, Amalia’s attempt to integrate into her new homeland, her relationship with the people and her influence on fashion and politics of the time make up the portrait of a dynamic woman who marked the first period of Greek monarchy . But tensions are not slow to peak.

The Revolution of September 3, 1843, the pressures for a constitution and the challenge of the kingdom foretell the developments to follow.
