NAPLES โ€“ The run-down, paint-chipped Detroit house where U.S. civil rights icon Rosa Parks took refuge after her historic bus boycott is going on display in Italy in a setting that couldnโ€™t be more incongruous: the imposing central courtyard of the Royal Palace in Naples. Itโ€™s the latest stop for the house in a years-long saga that began when Parksโ€™ niece saved the tiny two-story home from demolition in Detroit after the 2008 financial crisis. The family says Parks, who died in 2005, lived there with 17 other relatives. But now, โ€œinstead of being rejected by the walls of the royal palace, itโ€™s embraced and protected by these walls,โ€ he said. โ€œPotentially thanks to the showing of the house in this way, America will allow the house to have a home.โ€___Winfield reported from Rome.
