Marina, Princess of Naples (Marina; née Ricolfi Doria; born 12 February 1935[1]) is a Swiss-born water skier and the wife of Vittorio Emanuele, Prince of Naples, only son and heir of Italy's last monarch: King Umberto II and his wife Princess Marie José of Belgium.[2]

Background

Marina Ricolfi Doria is the daughter of René Italo Ricolfi Doria (Cologny, 30 April 1901 – Geneva, 4 February 1970) and wife Iris Amalia Benvenuti (Pallanza, 14 January 1905 – Geneva, 10 September 2004), who owned a Swiss biscuit business. She has three sisters: Silvia, Nina and Alda, and one brother, Dominique.

Career

In 1955 Marina Doria went to Florida and became a star attraction at the Florida amusement park Cypress Gardens. She was a water ski champion, winning world titles on three occasions to gain the titles of Women Tricks World Champion in 1955 and 1957, and Women Slalom World Champion in 1957. In addition, she won four consecutive overall titles in the European Championships from 1953 to 1956 and multiple national titles in her native Switzerland.[3] In 1991 Doria was selected as member in the International Water Ski Federation Hall of Fame.

They have one son, Emanuele Filiberto.

When her husband, Vittorio Emanuele, was allowed to return to his homeland in 2002, they moved from Switzerland to Italy.
