The Sovereign Order of Malta celebrated its 43rd anniversary in 2025. For the occasion, many members of the aristocracy gathered in Switzerland amidst discussions on social support.
Its Swiss president, Nicolas de Buman, emphasized the moral responsibility to “never turn a blind eye to those whom life makes vulnerable.”
Among the guests were several European dignitaries, including Prince and Princess Pierre d’Arenberg, Archduke Maximilian of Austria-Tuscany, and Princesses Maria Carolina and Maria Chiara of Bourbon-Two Sicilies. In an atmosphere blending elegance, music, and commitment, the ball served as a reminder that the tradition of this event can become a powerful vehicle for solidarity.
