  • The Legitimate of Non Reigning Royal Families
    ABOUT THE AUTHOR Don Salvatore Ferdinando Antonio Caputo was born in a noble family in 1942 when Italy was a kingdom ruled by the House of Savoy, kings of Italy since the Risorgimento (The Resurgence. The movement for the liberation and political unification of Italy, beginning about 1750 and lasting until 1870), and previously rules of Savoy. However, four years after his birth, monarchy was abolished by popular referendum in June 2, 1946. Italy became a republic. At the age of 15, he was brought up in Canada where after he spends his life traveling worldwide and worked in Brazil, Guatemala and Philippines as a prominent director of multinational Corporations. Since he became conscious of politics, there has not been a president who he felt was a satisfactory symbol of the countries visited, and who he could admire as a focus for non-partisan patriotism. This is essentially why he came to support monarchy…..although his enthusiasm for royalty dates from childhood. He speaks and writes fluently Italian, English, Spanish, and Portuguese, read French and was educated in Italy, Canada and USA. Don Salvatore is a monarchist that believes that a hereditary Monarchy, with a Sovereign, non-corrupt one with religious values and culture and tradition, conducted with immense kindness and whose role was thrust upon him by accident of birth rather than by being a politician, is the most perfect form of government in a nation. Contrary to a Republic's President (like France, USA etc.) the Sovereign will insure the continuity in a time schedule. He/she is always aware about important files and he/she acts to push these files up to their conclusion.

I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with concentrations in Deaf Education, Communication Studies, and Applied Linguistics. Following my undergrad, I studied at Gallaudet, the only Deaf University in the United States. The ASL program at Texas Tech provided me with an applicable skillset that allowed me to interact successfully with the students and faculty at the University, as I was able to communicate effectively and had the self-confidence to do so.
