View of Emanuele Filiberto statue in Piazza San Carlo, Turin, Italy

Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia
(1528–1580), also known as “Ironhead”, was Duke of Savoy from 1553 to 1580. He is remembered for the Italianization of the House of Savoy, as he recovered the savoyard state (invaded and occupied by France when he was a child) following the Battle of St. Quentin (1557) and subsequently moved the capital to Turin and made Italian the official language in Piedmont.
