The second of a two part series, this video covers a decades worth of research discussing the newly renamed La Bella Principessa's possible journey through Europe to find her original home and its potential journey to the US. This episode gets pretty complicated and highlights some interesting academic spats, so strap in folks and enjoy the episode.
