Beatrice automatically became a ‘contessa’ when she got married, which is the Italian equivalent of a countess.
Edoardo’s father, Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi, explained: “Edoardo is the only male descendant taking the family into the next generation.
“He is a count – his wife will be a countess automatically and any of their children will be counts or nobile donna (women).”
Beatrice and Edoardo’s wedding came together in just two weeks after the government eased its lockdown restrictions.
