The Colonna Family

Clemente Domenico Rospigliosi and Giustina Borrowmeo were the ancesters of Guilio Cesare Rospigliosi (1781=1859), fourth Prince Rospigliosi and Duke of Zagarolo, who married Margherita (b. 1786), daughter of flippo Colonna (1760-1818) and his wife Princess Caterina (1762-1823), daughter of Luigi Vittorio of the House of Savoy-Carignano. The Savoy-Carignano family gave Italy its four kings in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Caterina was the sister of Leopolda, wife of Giovanni Andrea Doria-Pamfili-Landi. This branch of the Colonna family also used the name Gioeni to distinguish it from other branches. Filippo Colonna (1760-1818) was the great-grandson of another Flippo Colonna (1667-1714) whose wife was Olimpia Pamfili, great-grandnieve of Pope Innocent X. This latter Filippo's daughter Agnese (d. 1780) had married Prince Camillo Borghese. The same Filippo's grandfather Marcantonio Colonna (D 1659) had married the heiress Isabella Gioeni, daughter of Lorenzo Prince of Castiglione. Their great-great-great-great-grandson Filippo (1760-1818) has no sons, but on of his daughters, Margherita (1786-1864), assumed the surname Colonna-Gioeni in order to permit her to inherit the Gioeni wealth. Giulio Cesare Rospigliosi and Margherita Colonna-Gioeni had two sons, Clemente and Francesco-Cesare. From the eldest Clemente is descended the family of Rospigliosi-Colonna-Gioeni and from the second Francesco, the branch of Prince Pallavicini Rospigliosi. BOth branches are still in existance. Clemente Rospigliosi-Colonna-Gioeni (1823-97), Duke of Zagarolo, Prince of Castiglione, a title inherited from his mother, was the father of Prince Guiseppe (1848-1913), who begot Geronimo, Prince Rospigliosi-Colonna-Gioeni, born in 1907. Prince Guiseppe's brother Camillo (b. 1850), who served as commander of the papal guard, was the father of a son Giulio (b. 1907). Since there are male cousins, the future of the Rospiglios-Gioeni dynasty sems to be assured. Giulio Cesare Rospigliosi and Margherita's second son, Francesco-Cesare (1828-87), assumed the name Rospigliosi-Pallavicini, being descended from Giovan Battista Rospigliosi (1646-1722) and the heiress MARIA-CAMILLA-PALLAVICINI. She bought to the House of Rospigliosi the principality of Gallicano. Francesco-Cesare's son Uberto (b. 1858) Prince Rospigliosi-Pallavicini, Prince of Gallicano, married Carolina Boncompagni-Ludovisi (1834-1910). They had four children, the youngest of whom as a son, Giulio-Cesare (1871-1941). Prince of Gallicano and marchese of Colonna. To insure that the Rospigliosi-Pallavicini branch (now listed as Pallavicini in Libre d'Ore) would continue, Giulio-Cesare adopted Guglielmo, who took the name Pallavicini in 1987. Guglielmo was the son of Armando, son of Pierre de Bernis, Marchese of Courtavel. Adoption was yet another way of assuring that a noble italian papal family's name would survive. It permitted the continuation of the Rospigliosi-Pallavicini family.
