- Princess Rita Jenrette Boncompagni Ludovisi was ordered out of the property by a court

An ex-Playboy model turned self-possessed Italian princess has been kicked out of her $533 million Roman villa after a bitter inheritance dispute with her stepchildren.
Princess Rita Jenrette Boncompagni Ludovisi was forced to put her four bichon frisé dogs in a taxi on Thursday after being evicted from the historic property with the only known ceiling painted by Caravaggio.
The 73-year-old said she was “brutally” evicted from her home, moaning that she had been “lovingly caring for the building” with husband Nicolò Boncompagni Ludovisi for the past 20 years.
She married the prince in 2009, but after his death in 2018, his children from his first marriage accused her of stealing their inheritance and letting the Villa Aurora, located on the posh Via Veneto, deteriorate.
Princess Rita, her husband’s third wife, was evicted from her home after a court ruled she had caused an exterior wall in the world’s most expensive property to crumble.
