Ippolita Ludovisi

Olimpia Ippolita I Ludovisi (December 24, 1663 – December 29, 1733) was the Princess of Piombino from 1701 until her death in 1733.

Life

She was born in Cagliari, the youngest daughter of Niccolò I Ludovisi, prince of Piombino, and Constanza Pamphilj, princess of San Martino and Alviano, sister of prince Camillo Pamphilj. On 19 October 1681 she married Gregorio II Boncompagni, 5th duke of Sora and Arce.

On November 27, 1700 she inherited the family fiefs from her sister Olimpia, including Piombino.
