r of Camillo Borghese (1550-1620), 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 1610. 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 1806 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.

Savignano, near Rimini, on the 11th of July 1781. He studied at Bologna
and Rome. Having weakened his eyesight by the study of documents of the
middle ages, he turned his attention to epigraphy and numismatics. At
Rome he arranged and catalogued several collections of coins, amongst
them those of the Vatican, a task which he undertook for Pius VII. In
consequence of the disturbances of 1821, Borghesi retired to San Marino,
where he died on the 16th of April 1860. Although mainly an enthusiastic
student, he was for some time podesta of the little republic. His
monumental work, _Nuovi Frammenti dei Fasti Consolari Capitolini_
(1818-1820), attracted the attention of the learned world as furnishing
positive bases for the chronology of Roman history, while his
contributions to Italian archaeological journals established his
reputation as a numismatist and antiquarian. Before his death, Borghesi
conceived the design of publishing a collection of all the Latin
inscriptions of the Roman world. The work was taken up by the Academy of
Berlin under the auspices of Mommsen, and the result was the _Corpus
Inscriptionum Latinarum_. Napoleon III. ordered the publication of a
