As the final event of their State Visit to Italy, the King and Queen of Spain attended a ceremony at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, where King Felipe was awarded an honorary Doctorate in Social Sciences and Statistics by the University of Naples Federico II.

This marked the university's 800th anniversary and celebrated the King’s commitment to knowledge, justice, and intercultural dialogue.

The ceremony, rich in symbolism, included a formal academic procession, speeches, and King Felipe’s Lectio Magistralis, where he expressed pride in joining the university community. The honorary title, the first awarded to a Head of State by the university and only the fifth in its history, was presented alongside the official Pergamina. This is the first Honorary Doctorate that King Felipe has received.

Following the event, Their Majesties departed for Spain, concluding their state visit to Italy.

Following this, King Felipe and Queen Letizia paid tribute to the unknown soldier with a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the Altar of the Fatherland.

Their Majesties then attended a luncheon hosted by Giorgia Meloni, the Prime Minister of Italy, at Villa Doria Pamphili.

After lunch, the King and Queen visited Palazzo Madama, the seat of the Senate of the Italian Republic, which serves as the upper house of the Italian Parliament.

They then proceeded to the Montecitorio Palace for a joint session of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Italian Republic. During this exceptional event, King Felipe addressed the Italian legislative chambers, marking one of the central moments of the State Visit. His speech, delivered in the context of a parliamentary ceremony, provided a unique opportunity to address all Italian citizens through their elected representatives.
