A Texas-born princess has been evicted from a historic villa in Rome that contains the only known ceiling painted by Caravaggio.
Princess Rita Jenrette Boncompagni Ludovisi, nee Rita Carpenter, abandoned the Casino dell'Aurora, off the famous street of Via Veneto, hours after Carabinieri police arrived to enforce a court-mandated eviction order.
She was seen piling her four frise dogs into a taxi on Thursday following the eviction, which came as part a bitter inheritance dispute with her stepchildren.
