Maria Emilia Caracciolo di Torchiarolo

Unfortunately I know ver little about Maria Emilia, but not for lack of trying. I eventually found the records below which did give me incite into where she lived and died, but not much else. I am hoping that someone will read these blogs and eventually come up with a story about her or her parents. In the meantime, I’ll have to settle for the information from the records.

Recently I connected with cousin Carlo Raso in Italy who did this excellent hand drawn chart showing our relationship and link to Luigi Caracciolo the fourth prince of Torchiarolo. As you can see Carlo has a couple of more princes in his line.

You can read the entire story in my book “Farmers and Nobles”
