Save by Miracle (Colour Litho)

Save by a miracle. Returning from Cortina where he had witnessed the inauguration of a bust to his father, Alberto of Belgium, the former King Leopold, with his wife Liliana de Rethy, had a scary accident. The car, driven by the princess, drove along the national road towards Dobbiaco, when, apparently due to a breakdown, he went off the road and capoto four times, before ending up at the bottom of the escarpment. Promptly rescued by the motorist champion Nino Farina who followed them closely, Leopoldo and his wife were accompanied with minor injuries at the Cortina hospital.
