Donna Olimpia Aldobrandini was born 20 April 1623, the daughter of Giorgio Aldobrandini (Prince of Meldola, Sarsina and Rossano) and his wife, Donna Ippolita Ludovisi (daughter of Orazio Ludovisi, Duke of Fiano, sister of Niccolò Ludovisi, Duke of Zagarolo and a niece of Pope Gregory XV).[1]
In 1638, she married Prince Paolo Borghese of the Borghese family who died in 1646 and had issue; four sons and one daughter.
The following year after the death of her husband, in 1647, she married Camillo Pamphili[2] (son of Olimpia Maidalchini and nephew of Pope Innocent X) who renounced a cardinalate to become her husband.[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.
Aldobrandini and Camillo Pamphili had five children including Giovan Battista Pamphili, Benedetto Pamphili and Anna Pamphili who married the Genoese nobleman Giovanni Andrea III Doria-Pamphili-Landi in 1671. 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.
