Texas-born princess battles stepchildren for Rome villa inheritance.
Princess Rita Jenrette Boncompagni Ludovisi, a Texas-born Italian princess, is facing eviction from her $533 million royal villa in Rome amid an intense inheritance battle with her stepchildren. A Roman judge ordered her to vacate the home by April 20 as part of a ruling that she failed to maintain the historic property after a wall collapsed and blocked a nearby street. Ludovisi inherited the home after marrying Prince Nicolo von Boncompagni Ludovisi in 2009 and was solidified as its legatee in his will.
