Olimpia Aldobrandini

Olimpia Aldobrandini (20 April 1623 – 18 December 1681) was rich and powerfull Italian noblewoman.

Olimpia Aldobrandini was born on 20 April 1623, the daughter of Giorgio Aldobrandini, Prince of Meldola, Sarsina and Rossano, nephew of Pope Clement VIII, and his wife, Ippolita Ludovisi (daughter of Orazio Ludovisi, Duke of Fiano, sister of Niccolò Ludovisi, Duke of Zagarolo, and a niece of Pope Gregory XV).

[3] Part of her dowry of her second marriage was a collection of paintings (including masterpieces removed from the Duke of Ferrara's "Camerino d’Alabastro"), villas in Montemagnanapoli and Frascati, the great Aldobrandini estates in Romagna on the Corso in Rome and the Palazzo Aldobrandini.

These estates and property thus passed to the House of Pamphili and became the nucleus for the Galleria Doria Pamphilj.

When the Roman branch of the Pamphlili family ended in 1760, it was the descendants of Anna and Giovanni who inherited the palazzo in Rome.
