Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BORGHESE , a noble Italian family of Sienese origin, first mentioned in 1238, a member of which, Marcantonio Borghese, settled in Rome and was the father of Camillo Borghese (1550-162o), elected
pope
  under the title of Paul V. (1605). Paul created his nephew prince of Vivero on the 17th of November 1609, and Philip III. of Spain conferred the title of prince of Sulmona on him in 161o. The family took its place among the higher Roman
nobility
  by the
marriage
  of the prince's son
Paolo
  with Olimpia, heiress of the Aldobrandini family, in 1614. In 1803 Camillo Filippo Ludovico, Prince Borghese (b. 1775), married Pauline,
sister
  of the emperor
Napoleon
 , and widow of General Leclerc. In 18o6 he was made duke of Guastalla, and for some years acted as
governor
  of the Piedmontese and Genoese provinces. After the fall of
Napoleon
  he fixed his residence at Florence, where he died in 1832. The Borghese palace at Rome is one of the most magnificent buildings in the city, and contained a splendid gallery of pictures, most of which have been transferred to the Villa Borghese outside the
Porto
  del Popolo, now Villa Umberto I., the property of the Italian government.
