S20·E3 Marie Antoinette - Last Dream at Versailles

Ulisse will tell, from the places of his history, the life of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France. Daughter of Maria Theresa of Austria, Marie Antoinette married, in her early teens, Louis XVI, Dauphin of France. Their life took place in the marvelous Palace of Versailles, just outside Paris, in the 18th century. From these famous places, Alberto Angela will try to make us relive the atmosphere that preceded the French Revolution, an event that overwhelmed the life of Marie Antoinette, her husband Louis XVI and many aristocrats who were part of that court. Marie Antoinette's life, like that of her husband, ended in Paris, under the blade of the guillotine on the Place de la Revolution, now Place de La Concorde.
