Princess Rita Jenrette Boncompagni Ludovisi

An American-born princess is in danger of being evicted from her dilapidated villa in Rome, which features a Caravaggio artwork on the ceiling.

According the independent, Princess Rita Jenrette Boncompagni Ludovisi, née Rita Carpenter, left the Casino dell’Aurora on glitzy Via Veneto hours after Carabinieri police arrived to enforce a court-ordered eviction warrant. Before she left, a locksmith changed the locks on the big green front door.

His dramatic outing capped off a remarkable soap opera of years involving one of Rome’s aristocratic families.

The Boncompagni Ludovisi are perhaps best known for having produced Pope Gregory XIII.

But lately they have drawn more attention due to the inheritance dispute and the court-ordered auction of their famous villa in the heart of Rome.

“What did I do to deserve this?” “It’s a mystery to me, why are they so determined to get me out of here?” Boncompagni Ludovisi, 73, told reporters as he carried his puppy.

Princess Boncompagni Ludovisi, a former actress, Playboy model, ex-wife of a US congressman and New York real estate broker, married the late Prince Nicolo Boncompagni Ludovisi, scion of one of Europe’s most aristocratic families, in 2009 .

Following the prince’s death in 2018, she was embroiled in an inheritance dispute with her three stepchildren.

However, Nicolo stipulated in his will that his wife would have the right to live there for the rest of her life, and that she and their children would share the proceeds from its sale.

However, the sons challenged this, which led to a legal dispute.
