He is the firstborn of Grand Princes Mattia of Istalia, elder brother of Michele I, and his wife Nadia (nee Carolani).
Born as commoner like his father and the rest of his family, when his uncle was elevated to the Istalian Throne, he was created Imperial Prince of Istalia, tegether with the rest of the members of the Appiano De Borromei's family, newly declared Istalian imperial family[1].


Biography[]

Early years[]

Alessandro born on 12 March 4532 at the Eristano's State Hospital (Mezzodiurno) two months after his father Mattia moved with his wife to the Alaria's city to assume an university chairs to the local Academy of Fine Arts.
Alessandro attended the public schools since the first grade with healthy profit. When youth he joined the soccer team of his profil school and High school, while started to be fascinated by the flight and by the military career, especially since his uncle Michele was reassigned to an Air Force base near Eristano.
The two family started to spent a lot of time together and the young Alessandro came very close with his uncle, fascinated by his uniform and by his tales. Michele started also to flight with Alessandro in the free time on little single-engine aircraft.

When the Thallerist Revolution exploded, he was 14, and if initially Eristano was not directly interested, the Thallerist forces landed in late 4546 occuping the city defeating the forces into the local Air Force bases and conquering a strategic position. The civial population was forced to respect a severe curfew, forcing also Alessandro and his parents to remain for most part of the time at home. This, however, changed inl 4547 when they were forced to escape when his father learned that the Thallerist forces wanted to capture them, being relatives of Giulio Appiano De Borromei, one of the leaders of the Resistance. They fled to the north, in the montainous regions of Silicia, where remained united until the begin of 4548 when his father, starting to cooperate with the Resistance, decided to retourn to the south alone to not expose them to risks and possible retailations.

When the Thallerist Revolution was defeated at the end of 4548, finally Alessandro and his mother reunited with his father and they returned in Eristano to resume their normal life, but not before to attend in Romula a commemorative cerimony for his grand-father, one of the martyrs of the Resistance.

Early Military Career[]

At the end of the High School, in 4550, Alessandro fully expressed to his parents the desire to join the Air Force's Accademy od Turrino where he was admitted after the passage of the entrance exam. Here he followed the course to become military pilot of jet fighters, following in the footsteps of his uncle who, for Alessandro, and for most part of the country, were a veritable here.
Graduated as lieutenant in 4553, he was assigned to the the 20° Interceptor Group of the 4° Fly Wing based on Tarranda, Mezzodiurno, where he demonstrate great abilities and earning the admiration of his superiors the following year, as well as the rank of captain, when he joined a team-mate whose plane had suffered a damage and managed to help him safely landing despite the other pilot, in addition to the damage to the plane, had also lost visibility due to hydraulic fluids that had smeared the cockpit.

He continued then to attend the Military Sciences courses but in the meanwhile, however, like many others in Istalia, was fascinated by the political rising of his uncle and in 4554 he joined his newly founded party, Glory and Rebirth, gaining supporters for the new political movement among young officers of his Air squadron and of the Institute of Military Sciences.

Political Experience[]

When the popular support for Glory and Rebirth took by surprise the Liberal Party, at the time leading the provissional government, it was reached an agreement between the two political parties and the right-hand of Michele Appiano De Borromei, former Chief of Defence Staff Admiral Filippo Sartori, was appointed Head of Government by President Giotto Caiola. The young captain Alessandro,with proselitism in favor of his uncle within the Air Force became well known and appreciated among many young officers but he was not prepared to the proposal the uncle made him to join the Government of Sartori. Michele, in fact, was fully aware that, despite the return of democracy, the nation was actually under the guardiaship of the Armed Forces but he was also aware of the fact that the Armed Forces themself were still internally divided in factions, factions that needed representation between the new Government and Alessandro had to represent the young officers, who at the time were rather critical toward the old guard for the recent national tragedy. So, in 4554, at only 22, Alessandro became Minister within the Sartori's Government, appointed as Minister of Food and Agriculture.
After the elections of 4555, when Glory and Rebirth reported a landslide victory and Michele Appiano De Borromei was elected first Head of the State of the newly founded Fifth Republic, Alessandro was asked by his uncle to join also in his first cabinet and then was appointed as Minister of Science and Technology continuing to represents the young officers.

The night of the 4558 Coup attempt, Alessandro was arrested together with many other officials of the State ready to be deported in an isolated military base in Alaria by the putchists.
The convoy which was deporting the arrested officials was intercepted by the loyal forces just before the sunrise in the outskirt of Romula and Alessandro, once freed, reached the uncle at Quattroregni Palace together with the loyal Ministries. During his tenure as Minister of Science and Technology joined the Head of the State in his "passion" for the nuclear physics which led the Government to fund a new nuclear laboratory and also a nuclear fusion experimental facility. During this term, however, the Government was particularly busy to contrast the rising fascist Nationalist Workers Party which threatened the young Fifth Republic. If initially he left to Sartori and the Glory and Rebirth's parliament members to contrast the fascists focusing on his duty as Minister, at the end of the term he fully dedicated himself to the electoral campaign for the newly founded Coalition for the Democratic Cooperation and for the re-election of his uncle.

Following the elections of 4561, despite the uncle and his party defeated the fascists with another landslide victory, Alessandro this time declined the invitation of the reconfirmed Head of the State expressing his desire to return in active service to the Air Force, also to complete his Military Sciences' study.

Late Military Career[]

In 4564 Alessandro finally graduated in Strategic Studies and Games specialization but then he prefered to continue his career as pilot for some other years. With the rank of Lieutenant Colonel he became the commander of the 20° Interceptor Group, his original air force's group, but then after just one year his uncle convinced him to move to the Department of the Air Force where in 4568 reached the rank of Colonel entering into the staff of the Chief of the Air Force Staff.
In 4571 he was recomanded by General Polidori, at the time Chief of Air Force Staff, to the Defence Staff and Alessandro was considering the opportunity to move to Travertine Palace when the first proposals to declare his uncle as perpetual head of state started to be debated.

As Imperial Prince of Istalia[]

September 1th, with the foundation of the first Istalian Empire, Michele Appiano De Borromei was officially declared Emperor of the Istalians and Alessandro, with other members of the Appiano De Borromei's family, found himself elevated to the rang of Imperial Prince of Istalia and member of its first Imperial Dynasty.
Becoming Imperial Prince, however, didn't distract him from the Air Force and in 4572, after also the advice of his uncle, he agreed to join the Defense Staff and to continue his career.
As Imperial Prince, obviously, he attended the Inauguration Cerimony of his uncle, but for the following years he did not participate in any official event or ceremony, except when they involved all the members of the Imperial Family.
Something, however, seemed to change in June 4576 when his uncle the Emperor demanded him as his Chief of Staff during his first official visit abroad to the Hulstrian Imperial Court. During the State visit, many noticed how Alessandro was overexposed by his uncle, more than just the Chief of the Emperor's Staff and, indeed, he entertained also a long conversation with the at time Kaiser Hans Friedrick Albert lll, just few years younger than Alessandro[2].
Emperor Michele actually formalized the decision and in 4579 he officially appointed Alessandro as his heir apparent[3].

Years after years, with an increasingly aged Emperor Michele, he took care of ever more institutional and cerimonial committments replacing almost in all official duties the Emperor since 4586 when the latter suffered a heart attack which undermined his health.

The Imperial succession[]

On April 13th 4593, Michele I died at 83 due to the worsening of a chest infection and as the official announcement was released by the Imperial Family it was also announced the ascension to the Throne as Alessandro I. His coronation was cheduled on 12 December 4593.

Alessandro I's reigns actually coincided with the long lasting premiership of Paolo Tarso who for 26 years was at the helm of the country leading up to eight governments, all of them which sworne in the hands of Alessandro I, followed by two other S&D-led cabinets led by Rania Mossadeq. It was a period of economical growth and Alessandro's reign was less marked by anti-monarchism movements than the one of Michele I, plagued for decades by the PNI opposition. The long lasting "cohabitation" between Alessandro I and Paolo Tarso several time generated conflictual situations and criticisms from the opposition due to apparent or supposed and publicized support of S&D policies by part of the Crown.

During his reign Alessandro I constantly worked to improve foreign relations of Istalia, establishing cordial relations especially with foreign monachs and royal families, like the one of Hulstria, strengethen furthermore by the marriage between the son of Alessandro, Nicola, with the sister of the Kaiserine of Hulstria Sofia l. Another well known friendship established by Alessandro I was the one with the Zardic Emperor Felipe I[4], became an pen friend with a common passion for ancient history.

Just before Nicola's marriage, Alessandro officially appointed his son as heir to the throne entitling him of the tile of Grand Prince of the Crown[5]. Since then the Emperor was ever more assisted by his son on pursuing his duties, putting great efforts in forming his successor. The Imperial wedding and the glamour around the young couple contributed to make improve the support of the people for the Crown and at the beginning of the 47th century Alessandro I's reign and in general the institution of the monarchy's approval rate reached one of its heights[6].

The first years of the century, however, were signed by the involvement of the Istalian Armed Forces in the Kazualian civil war with a fleet of Navy sent in Kazulia to defend the supply lines to the rebel forces fighting the fascist government[7]. Alessandro I several times showed his concern for the fate of the istalian men on the cargo ships[8] and on the ones of the Navy and was heavily touched by the lost of hundreds of Istalian sailors in Kazulia, an event that generate great sadness at the time of the birth of Emperor's first grandchild, called after him[9]. At the end of the victorious four years mission in support of the rebels against the Kazulian fascist regime, the Emperor welcomed personally the soldiers came back at home underlining the the valour of the sacrifice of the fallen ones and calling all of them as hearoes and living examples of the compassion and the sacrifices the Istalian are ready to show and to undertake in order to protect human rights and democracy also outside the homeland's borders[10]:

«Goodmoorning at all.

For nearly four years our nation has been at war in Kazulia. And you, the incredible men and women of the Imperial Navy, have been there every step of the way, serving with honour, sacrificing greatly, from the first waves of the mission encountered in Kazulia until today. Thus, as your Commander-in-Chief and on behalf of a grateful Nation, I'm proud to finally say these two words, and I know your families agree: Welcome home! It is a great honor to be here in welcoming you, our heroes and heroes of another whole nation, Kazulia, which today, freed from the fascist yoke, is stapping back on the path of Peace and Democracy.

I want to thank Squadron Admiral Lorenzetti and all your outstanding leaders for welcoming us here today, including Admiral Davide Righelli and Ammiraglio Mahmud Al Qabij. And I want to give a shout-out to your outstanding senior enlisted leaders, including Sub-lieutenants first class Pamela Agostini, Danilo De Angelis, Pietro Musumeci. I want also to give a big round of applause to the pilots of our fighter aircrafts and especially to Captains Sara Manzini and Otello Marchegiani and Major Seluciano Mercuri. And finally we send our thoughts to the ones who are not here with us today, to the ones that have fallen away from home, who died with great honor in the course of duty, who sacrified their life for probably the greatest cause, to help a whole suffering people to fight against oppression and dictature, thinking first to the fate of those who are suffering and crying, because prompted by piety and great sorrow for those unfortunate souls. I think there is no more noble cause.

Personally, let me just say, that one of the most humbling moments I've had as Sovereign of the Istalian Empire was when I presented our nation's highest military decoration, the Cross of Military Valour, to the parents of one of those patriots who gave their life in Kazulia.

Another of the most extraordinary chapters in the history of the Istalian military finally came to an end. Kazulian future will be in the hands of its people. Istalia's war in Kazulia is over but still, there is something profound about the end of a war that has lasted so long. It was a source of great controversy here at home, with patriots on both sides of the debate. But there was one constant: your patriotism, your commitment to fulfil your mission, your abiding commitment to one another. That was constant. That did not change. That did not waiver. Sometime it's harder to end a war than begin one. Indeed, everything that Istalian troops have done in Kazulia, all the fighting and all the dying, the bleeding and the training and the partnering, all of it has led to this moment of success. Now, Kazulia is a nation in peace. It has many challenges ahead. But we're leaving behind a sovereign, stable and self-reliant Kazulia, with a representative government that was elected by its people and we're building a new partnership between our nations. This is an extraordinary achievement, nearly four years in the making and today we remember everything that you did to make it possible. But... all these words only begins to describe the costs of this war and the courage of the men and women who fought it, we know too well the heavy cost of this war. Over 4800 men have served in this mission, 1496 have been wounded while 287 brave sailors made the ultimate sacrifice. So today, we pause to say a prayer for all those families who have lost their loved ones, for they are part of our broader Istalian family. We grieve with them. We also know that these numbers don't tell the full story of the Iraq war, not even close. You've endured dangerous moments and you've endured the pain of seeing your friends and comrades fall. You've had to be more than sailors and airmen, you've also had to be diplomats and peacemakers. Through all this, you have shown why the Istalian Imperial military is among the finest fighting force in the history of the world.

For all this reason, we salute you brave soldiers of Istalia, all the Nation today and all its highest officials today salute you with the greatest respect honiring all what you did for the Country.

Thank you.»
(Alessandro I)


Alessandro I showed to be very proud that his country was able to support the victorious democratic resistance in Kazulia contributing to bring back democracy in the Dovanian country and to having put an end to the the terrible crimes against human rights perpetuated by the fascist regime. After all the Emperor has always showed his sensibility on these matters and his belief in democracy, in the respect of human rights, of peacefull political means and his rejection for any dictature, like when during the conflict with Kazulia he released an international address to express[11] his and Istalia deepest sorrow for a terrible terrorist attack in the Dorvish capital Haldor by part of far-leftist terrorists supported by Suyu Llaqta's socialist dictatorial regime as probably in retaliation of the end of the communist regime in Dorvik few years before[12][13]:

«People of Istalia,

it is with great consternation that I address you and the nation all today, because serious and concerning news is arriving from all over the world and generating great concern in me. It's with the most deeply saddeness that I learned of the appalling events happened in Dorvik, the terribile terrorist attacks that have shocked the country and its people. I feel a tremendous sorrow and my thoughts go out to all those affected, especially to the victims and their loved ones and I want express how the People of Istalia and me are dismayed and horrified by these heinous acts, and I would like express the most saddened condolences and the closeness of all Istalia and of the Istalian Crown to the People of Dorvik. Great sadness generates the fact that such a terrible attack was brought against a young new Dorvish democracy ready to resume its journey and position among the countries of the free world, an attack that seems to have been carried out to undermine this newfound stability. I am among those who feel alarm and dismay for all this. It is vitally important that we show today all our solidarity to Dorvik, condamning such vile acts of cowardice and offering our assistance to stand against these unfathomable acts of terrorisms. It's my intention to promote to the Government to offer all the assistance of the Istalian Empire to Dorvik and it is also my intention to advice the Prime Minister so to lend a hand to this new dorvish democracy helping the Dorvish People to preserve and continue on this new path toward freedom and democracy. Obviously, I demand also to the Government and to our diplomatic staff in Dorvik to quickly act and cooperate to ascertain if Istalian citizens could be involved in the attacks and if istalian citizens could have been killed or wounded, organizing in case their return home.

I want to assure to the Dorvish People, however, that these criminal acts can do no more than unite a stricken people and a suffering nation even more, from such events democracy must strengthen itself and face this threat without bending. Such crimes must also promote greater understanding, closeness and cooperation between nations loyal to and united around the values ​​of Democracy and Freedom, to more effectively counter together the threats and attacks carried out against Democracy itself, so as not to give respite and pursue more effectively criminal perpetrators all over the world. For this reason, I find myself in a position to advise the Prime Minister and the Government to start a phase of distension of relations and diplomatic rapprochement between Istalia and a Dorvik that finally seems to have left the communist authoritarian past behind to return on the road of democracy, as the democracies of the world should do to guarantee greater protection and serenity to their peoples, allied and united in those values ​​and in those principles.

Freedom and Democracy, two foundamental rights of the Man that today are seriously under attack and undermined in so many nations and denied to so many peoples. As Guarantor and Supreme Defender of these noble and most high values and principles in Istalia, and as human being I sincerily cannot remain insensitive witnessing these rights violated and abused abroad causing to so many peoples inhuman sufferences and pain. Sufferences caused by criminals who can take on the role of foreign terrorists as well as the clothes of those who should aspire to the good of their people, betraying them and instead subjugating them to their own undisputed power and authority, like today is the case in many nations, like Pontesi or Kazulia. Just about Kazulia, now it is up to my Government to decide the next measures to be adopted about the Kazulian crisis and the conflict with the Kazulian Fascist Regime and it is up to the most honorable representatives of the Nation and thus to the National Assembly of the Empire to finally express itself on the proposals by the Government. But if the government and the representatives of the Nation were to decide to send our forces on the ground in Kazulia to fight fascism, well, I cannot but spur our men so that, with their heads held high, such a horrible fascist threat will be faced, so that, by making us bearers of the light of freedom, in aid of the broken democracy in Kazulia, help and hope to the oppressed peoples in Kazulia will be brought and will aspire to the final liberation of the country from the fascist yoke that has perpetrated its crimes for too long. The Imperial Armed Forces, as always the Armed Forces of Istalia, will prove, I am sure, not only the recovered high efficiency and ability to operate by projecting its force and always using the most advanced equipements that technology can offer, but also and again, like so many other times in the past, their humanity and their ability and willingness to assist and bring relief to the populations of the territories concerned, promoting legality and democracy, bringing honor and respect to our Fatherland, to our Values, to our Principles. However, I will conclude by saying that, whatever the measures that will be decided and then adopted, I hope that the conflict in Kazulia will end as soon as possible and that the Kazulian people will be able to restore back their freedom and their serenity and that the forces of fascism will be definitively defeated and therefore that justice can prosecute, judge and condemn those ultimately found responsible for so much suffering. What is certain and what I am sure is uniting the whole nation, it's the fact that today our thoughts go to all those who are suffering because of hatred, violence and fanaticism, uniting us however in the hope for a different and better future.

Thank you»
(Alessandro I)


Few years later, instead, with his most pleasure Alessandro I had the opportunity to assist to the realization of Paolo Tarso's dream to send an Istalian manned mission on the moon, breackthrough accomplished by the Pegaso 5[14]. Alessandro I for the occasion issued a greatly impassioned speech[15]:

Wikiquote-logo-15px
«Mr Director of the AISA, Prime Minister Mossadeq, General Selva, distinguished members of the Government and the National Assembly here gathered, Colonel Valerio Auriemma, Colonel Stefania Filippetti, Lieutenant Colonel Luisa Manca, Lieutenant Colonel Marco Siri and Lieutenant Colonel Paolo Amadori, your families and the dedicated men and women of the AISA: It is my great honor to be here with all of you today.

I feel particularly fortunate to have been able to attend such an event as your Emperor and it’s a great honor to be here to celebrate with all of you the great achievement which was the Moon Landing by part of the Pegaso 5 mission and its crew, a breakthrough which will be remembered forever.

I’ve been looking forward to this day, but let me first of all express my congratulations which I am sure would have come from another great space enthusiast and a great champion of Istaliani's efforts in space which unfortunately cannot be here today. Today I begin by honoring the memory of former Prime Minister Paolo Tarso, who died a few years ago without seeing his dream come true.

Today, our nation pays tribute to the five brave astronauts who sat on a rocket of over one hundred meters that took off from Earth to reach our satellite where three of them set foot after more than 80 years since the last human mission on Luna. Such achievement has definitely skyrocketed Istalia among the few Terra's nations capable of operating manned space missions outside the low terran orbit. We also gather to pay tribute to the nearly 400,000 Istalians engineers, technicians, designers, workers and administrators whose sacrifices and dedication made it possible for Pegaso 5 to complete what was one of the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure upon which Istalia and the whole mankind has ever embarked.

When Prime Minister Tarso challenged the nation more than a decade ago to put Istalians on the moon and return them safely to Terra, it’s important to remember that our country previously attempted such achievements but never it reached such a goal and actually we can say that we were not yet ready to meet that challenge. We didn’t have the needed rockets and even we didn't have an adeguate launch base, or the spacesuits for the moon or the lander, the module service and so on. But we did it because we choose to go to the moon, thanks to the tireless efforts by part of Paolo Tarso, the support gave to the program by his and following governments and the collective cooperation and efforts of the whole country.

We honor these men today, and Istalia will always honor our Pegaso astronauts. They are heroes all. We honor the men and the women of Pegaso 5 by remembering their epic voyage and telling their story. But we also shall honor them by continuing the work they so nobly and courageously advanced in Istalian space exploration. Thank you for your courageous service.

Today, we also reaffirm our commitment to “unlock the mysteries of space” and to lead. And as we continue on this Istalian journey, we go with the same resolve and determination of those who have gone before. And we go with faith. Faith in the courage of this new generation of astronauts, men and women with the character and caliber to continue this great journey. They’re remarkable pioneers who will carry Istalian leadership into space. Faith in the ingenuity of the men and women of AISA and all of those across Istalian space enterprises, whose creativity and tireless efforts in the days ahead will match that of their forebears who created and invented new ways to explore and expanded human understanding with Istalian leadership.

And finally today, we resolve, for the sake of all they accomplished, that Istalia will lead in space exploration and this nation, I'm sure, will astonish the world with the heights we'll reach and the wonders we'll achieve.

Thank you, thank you all for what you did for Istalia.»
(Alessandro I)


In 4619 Emperor Alessandro was hospitalized with a "possible" infection for which the doctors order six months of complete rest while Prince Nicola took over the Emperor's duties as Regent until his return[16]. The Emperor fully recovered by this health issue and it was possible for him few years head to led the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Empire. For the occasion the Emperor gave another important speech in which he underlined the great achievements and the prosperity achieved by Istalia under the new era of the Empire[17]:

Wikiquote-logo-15px
«A warm greeting to you all - everyone! - those present here who have flocked to celebrate this solemn anniversary together or those who are listening us from afar. Greetings to those listening at home and to those listening abroad.

A thought of gratitude to all: to all the Istalian people, who in these fifty years have operated, and worked, with sacrifice and with love, here among us and in so many parts, istalians, here and in the world, always for Istalia... Always for Istalia!

1 September 4571 - the Istalian people, with a free, personal, secret vote, by universal suffrage, the Istalian people chosed, as a new institutional form of the State and as a true new beginning of its history, the Empire. It was like taking the sum of more than two decades of immense efforts to rise from the ashes of almost four years of war destroying men and things and years of liberation struggle. Thus the first goal was reached.

Yes, because by making confident in this new era of its history, Istalia has succeeded in subsequently achieving many other goals that we celebrate today with pride and joy, all together. Today we celebrate the men and women who by rigth have become part of the greatest names of the history of Istalia, new founding fathers, and obviously, first of all, we must remember Emperor Michele, whose memory we have honored a few hours ago, a man who, like few others, inspired the nation and who, like few, earned love and perpetual respect.

A new democracy, a new state, a new era, which brought prosperity, stability, prestige to Istalia and its people. 50 years that have seen so many great events and so many great triumphs made possible thanks to the ingenuity and the indefatigable temper of so many Istalians who have really shone at home and abroad, bringing luster to all of us.

In these 50 years, Istalia has still shown all its sensitivity and compassion for the fate of men and women all over the world and its faith in those inalienable rights of man that has always characterized our Country and that it has also inevitably shaped the new institutions of the Empire. An Empire of Tolerance, an Empire founded on plurality, an Empire devoutly and sacredly devoted to the defense of democracy and the rights of its citizens.

And it will be precisely in this place that a monument will rise to celebrate our new Empire, which will celebrate its values and the greatness it has brought to our great and beautiful Nation and which I hope will solemnly become a witness to many other years of munificent prosperity and that can inspire future generations and always remember to everyone the principles on which our nation and its institutions are founded.

Long live Istalia, Long live the Empire!»
(Alessandro I)


However, after just a month from these celebrations, on 15 November 4621 the nation with surprised dismay and sadness learned that Alessandro I died during his sleep struck by a pulmonary embolism while he was spent the summer at the Hunting Residence of Terracche Lakes. Alessandro I's reign ended thus after 28 years leaving the crown to his son who ascended to the throne as Nicola I[18].


Private Life[]

Prince Alessandro met Valentina Mainardi in Romula in 4568 with whom moved in together in 4570. Shortly after Alessandro was created Imperial Prince, Valentina Mainardi announced that she was pregnant and on November 21th 4571 he gave birth to the little Nicola at the Deodato II Polyclinic of Romula. The Emperor officially legitimized little Nicola creating him Imperial Prince as his father[19].
Prince Alexander and Valentina Mainardi were married on December 4, 4578[20]. The Emperor created the newly wife Princess with the treatment of Highness. She became Grand Princess of the Crown when her husband was officially designated as heir to the throne. Nicola, at least initially on request of his father, maintained the title of Imperial Prince for respect of the daughters of the Emperor.
On July 27th 4581 the couple had a daughter, called Eleonora.


Titles, Styles and Honors[]

Title[]

Since 4571 Alessandro held the title of Imperial Prince and the treatment of His Imperial Highness. The title of Imperial Prince was granted at the time of the Imperial elevation to all the members of the Imperial Family except, obviously, the Emperor and the Empress, their three daughters, who held the title of Imperial Grand Princesses, and Alessandro's parents, Mattia and Nadia, to whom, due to Mattia's seniority, was granted, like for the daughters of the Emperor, the title of Grand Princes of Istalia[21].

When he was officially designed Heir to the Throne, it was recognized to him the title Imperial Grand Prince of the Crown together with his wife.

When finally he succeeded to his oncle Michele in 4593[22], he ascended to the Throne as His Most Excellent Imperial Majesty, Alessandro I, by the Will of the Nation and the Constitution of the Empire, Emperor of the Istalians, Protector and Guarantor of the Constitution, Defender of the Democratic Values, Supreme Commander of the Imperial Armed Forces of Istalia, obviously with the threatment of Imperial Majesty.
