First formed after a notable bequest of works from the d'Este collection in Ferrara, it became one of the first art collections to kick-start the boom in art patronage in 17th century Rome. Its collecting activities all centred upon Pietro Aldobrandini, made a cardinal by his uncle Pope Clement VIII.
The collection was relatively short-lived, only lasting a century and split up when the family's direct male line died out. Its last owner was Olimpia Aldobrandini, who in 1682 left it to the children from her first and second marriages, thus dividing the collection between those of the Borghese and Pamphilj families.[1][full citation needed]
