Le 11 mars 2020, avant que le monde ne soit complètement bouleversé par la pandémie de coronavirus, le prince Casimir de Bourbon-Deux-Siciles et son épouse la princesse Maria Cristina ont organisé une réunion familiale dans leur maison de São Paulo. Le prince Casimir est le fils du défunt prince Gabriele de Bourbon-Deux-Siciles (1897-1975) et de sa seconde épouse la princesse Cecilia Lubomirska (1907-2001). En 1967, Casimir a épousé la princesse Maria Cristina de Savoie-Aoste, fille du prince Amédée de Savoie (1898-1942), duc d'Aoste, et de la princesse Anne d'Orléans (1906-1986).

De nombreux cousins du prince Casimir et de la princesse Maria Cristina ont assisté à la petite soirée organisée dans leur résidence. Parmi les invités figuraient Dom Duarte Pio, duc de Bragance et chef de la Maison royale du Portugal, ainsi que sa fille l'infante Maria Francisca de Portugal, duchesse de Coimbra. Le prince impérial Dom Bertrand du Brésil, qui réside également à São Paulo, était présent au dîner, tout comme son neveu le prince Luiz Philippe d'Orléans et Bragance, qui est député fédéral au Congrès brésilien. En outre, la nièce de Bertrand, la princesse Maria da Glória d'Orléans et Bragance, était également invitée. Casimir et Maria Cristina sont toujours restés proches de leurs cousins brésiliens.

Princess Maria Isabella of Savoy-Genoa, her daughter Countess Luce di Savoia Genova Frioli di Rezzano, and her granddaughter Sophia di Savoia Genova Frioli di Rezzano, who all live in the city, joined their cousins at this reunion. Maria Isabella is the only child of the last Duke and Duchess of Genoa: Prince Eugenio of Savoy-Genoa (1906-1996) and Princess Lucia of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (1908-2001). After the end of the World War II, Eugenio and Lucia moved to Brazil with their daughter to make a new life. In 1971, Maria Isabella of Savoy-Genoa married Alberto Frioli, Count di Rezzano; the couple had four children: Vittorio (b.1972), Maria Cristina (1973-1973), Carlo Alberto (b.1974), and Marie Luce (b.1978). Maria Isabella has maintained close ties with her many royal relations in South America and Europe.

The Duke of Bragança and his daughter had been in Brazil on a trip to celebrate Infanta Maria Francisca’s graduation from the Universidade Católica Portuguesa. Father and daughter visited the Amazon rainforest and then were able to spend time with their relatives in São Paolo, before returning to Portugal.
Casimir and Maria Cristina of Bourbon-Two Sicilies had planned on going to Italy to celebrate the ninetieth birthday of Maria Cristina’s sister, Archduchess Margherita of Austria-Este. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the couple were unable to do so and have stayed at their residence in Brazil.
