The House of Doria Pamphilj Landi (also called simply Doria Pamphilj) was a princely Roman family of Genoese extraction. Legend has it that the origins of the Doria family date from the early 11th century, but the authentic pedigree is traced to Ansaldo d'Oria, consul of Genoa in the 12th century. The descent of the several Doria family lines in Genoa is well-known and is described in Natale Battilana's 19th-century genealogical study of old Genoese families.

The Doria Pamphili Landi princely family was a sub-branch of the Doria di Oneglia branch: in 1291, two Doria brothers bought the lordship of Oneglia, which was co-owned by their descendants until the late 15th century. Admiral Andrea Doria was descended from a Doria di Oneglia, Genoese soldier Aitone Doria (also called Antonio Doria), who fought for the French at the Battle of Crécy.

Famous members

Famous members include Andrea Doria and Cardinal Giovanni Battista Pamphilj, who rose to the Papacy as Pope Innocent X.

The marquisate of Civiez and the county of Cavallamonte were conferred on the family in 1576, the

Landi
family.

Palazzo Doria Pamphilj

The Palazzo Doria Pamphilj in Rome was built mostly between the 16th and 18th centuries and contains one of the most valuable private collections of paintings in the world, the Doria Pamphilj Gallery.[citation needed] The Villa Doria Pamphilj was, during the siege of 1849, Giuseppe Garibaldi's headquarters, and was expropriated from the family in the 1970s by the city of Rome.[1]

Princess Orietta Doria Pamphili, Officer of the

Castiglione dei Genovesi, Genoese Patrician, Noble of Viterbo, the last of the line, married Royal Navy Commander Frank George Wignall Pogson (Maidenhead, Berkshire, 6 September 1923 - Rome, 2 October 1998)[2] in London on 6 August 1958. Prior to his marriage and in accordance with the express wishes of the late Prince Filippo Andrea VI Doria Pamphilj, he added "Doria Pamphilj" to his last name by deed poll.[3][4]

Centre, which is housed in the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj.

Patrimonial succession

The couple adopted two children:

Upon Princess Orietta Doria Pamphilj's death on November 19, 2000, her estates were inherited by Jonathan Pogson Doria Pamphilj and Gesine Floridi. In 2013 the heirs settled into the "Trust Doria Pamphilj" all of their inherited estates.

The ability of Jonathan Pogson Doria Pamphilj's children to inherit, after his death, was called into question in October 2009 and legal action was taken by his sister on this point. On the basis that Jonathan Pogson Doria Pamphilj's children were born of surrogate mothers, Gesine Floridi claimed that a recently passed Italian law on assisted procreation debarred them from inheriting.[5] In 2010, a court in Rome declined to hear the case.[6]
