Borghese (in Latin Bvrghesivm or Bvrghesivs), is the name of an Italian family of princes originating in Siena, which for many centuries had great importance in the political and religious history of Italy. The Borghese were one of the main Black Nobility families to maintain close ties with the Vatican. The nobility of the Borghese family is fully legitimized and recognized by the papacy of the Roman Catholic Apostolic Church, considering that the Borghese were favored after World War II, with the abolition of titles of nobility and hereditary honors in Italy, since the law did not apply the nobility of the papacy in Rome, as it was created by the Pope, because he was the Sovereign of the State.
The name Borghese refers to one of the most illustrious families in Europe that left luminous traces in the history of Siena, Florence and Rome because of the works of its members. The name Borghese (Bvrghesivm - Bvrghesivs), appears throughout Italy, including Florence at Palazzo Borghese, Siena, where the family began, and Rome, where the name is most prominent. One of the most famous streets in Rome is called Via di Fontanella Borghese.
This Royal House originated through Tiezzo da Monticiano, patriarch of the dynasty. Tiezzo was a great French lord, wool merchant, who lived in the 13th century. He moved to Siena and bought a village in Monticiano. Outside the walls, partially ruined, he made some houses and called them Burgo. Tiezzo da Monticiano had two children: Bencivenne and Benincasa.
Tiezzo's first son, Bencivenne, had a son whose first name was Borghese. He was the progenitor of the Borghese family, which was divided into branches. Thus, from Bencivenne and his son Borghese (who gave his name to the dynasty), descended the Borghese of Siena, Florence and the Borghese of Rome. Tiezzo's second son, Benincasa, was the parent of the Benincasa Family, whose most prominent member is Caterina Benincasa, better known as Saint Catherine of Siena.
In the 16th century, around 1541, the leader of the family, Marco Antonio Borghese I (1504-1574), moved to Rome, thus this family from Siena quickly gained access to the upper levels of Roman society, culminating in the election. (in 1605) of his son as Pope Paul V, Prince of the Apostles, so that the family grew in power and wealth. Pope Paul V, born Camilo Borghese (1550-1621), into a noble Sienese family, son of Marco Antonio Borghese I, was the 233rd Pope of the Catholic Church between 1605 and 1621.
Pope Paul V improved the city of Rome, promoting the construction of monuments and supporting artistic creation. Pope Paul V, restored the great archeduct with the name of Fontana dell'Acqua Paola, or Fountain of Water Paula (Acqua Paola), and was responsible for the facade of the building of St. Peter's Basilica, designed by Carlo Maderno. Paul V improved the Vatican Library and also established the Bank of the Holy Spirit in 1605. The Bank of the Holy Spirit (Italian: Il Banco di Santo Spirito), was a bank founded by Pope Paul V on December 13, 1605. The Bank was Europe's first national bank (like the Bank of the Papal States), the first public deposit bank in Rome, and the oldest continuously operating bank in Rome until its merger in 1992 with Banco di Roma.
Rome's largest park, the Villa Borghese gardens, was owned by the family until 1902, along with one of Rome's largest museums, the Borghese Gallery, which houses a large art collection. The family headquarters in Rome was Palazzo Borghese, which since 1903 has been established as the Borghese Gallery, housed in the former family estate at Villa Borghese. The core of the property had belonged to the family since 1580. In the early years of the 20th century, the Borghese family no longer had the economic conditions to maintain the Villa in the complex and it was acquired by the Italian State in 1901 for the sum of 3.6 million lire. In 1903, the gardens were separated from Palazzo Borghese and became a public park open to this day.
Pope Paul V (Camillvs Bvrghesivm) and the noble and papal Borghese family, have ancestral roots and traditions of descent from the Royal Blood of the Tribe of Levi. Notable descendants of the Levi Dynasty, according to the Bible, include the prophet Moses and his brother Aaron (high priest), Miriam (the sister of Moses), the prophet Samuel, the prophet Ezekiel, the governor Ezra, the prophet Malachi, Saint Zechariah, Saint Elizabeth, Saint John the Baptist, Saint Mark, Saint Matthew, Mary, Mother of Jesus and Saint Barnabas.
The name Borghese (meaning bourgeois), has spelling variations in Latin, Italian, French, Portuguese, English, etc., such as: Borghesi, Bvrghesivm, Borgheson, Borghezon, Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie, Bvrghesivs, Bar-rğešy, Burgess, Borgeois, Burger, Borgesi, among others. The ancient origins of the name Borghese are also found in the Gospel According to Saint Mark:
"And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James,
whom He called Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder."
(Mark 3:17).
Borghese is like Son Of Thunder, of the Peshitta in Syriac, the eastern Aramaic "Son of Thunder", it reads "Bar-rğešy".
Singular "Son of Thunder", Bar rğešy = בורגזה = Borghese. The plural "Sons of Thunder" is read as Boanerges (Bnê'-rğaš) (Βοανηργες).
This lineage, one of the oldest in Italy, includes Prince Marco Antonio Borghese I (1504-1574), Marco Antonio Borghese II (1598-1658), Marco Antonio Borghese III (1660-1729), Marco Antonio Borghese IV (1730-1800) , Marco Antonio Borghese V (1814-1886), Pope Paul V (Camillo Borghese 1550-1621), Cardinal Scipione Caffarelli-Borghese (1576-1633), Prince Duke Don Camillo Filippo Ludovico Borghese (1775-1832) Princess Maria Pauline Bonaparte Borghese (1780-1825), Ardizzone Borghese, Borghesino Borghese, Gregorio di Borghese Fassambrane, Pietro dei Cristofano Borghese Agostino di Nicola Borghese (1390-1462), among many others.
The Borghese were one of the biggest property owners and art throughout Italy. While Pope Paul V was in power, he bought entire cities and about 1/3 of the land south of Rome. Furthermore, thanks to the influence of his uncle (Pope Paul V), Marco Antonio II (1598-1658), son of Giambattista (1554-1609), (the pope's brother), was appointed by King Philip III of Spain. Saint Catherine of Siena is one of the patron saints of Italy, along with Saint Francis of Assisi. On October 3, 1970, St. Catherine was proclaimed Doctor of the Church by Pope Paul VI and, on October 1, 1999, John Paul II named St. Catherine of Siena as one of the patronesses of Europe, along with St. Benedict, St. Cyril and Methodius, St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross.
The coat of arms of the noble Borghese family depicts a winged dragon in the lower blue field, in the upper yellow field a black eagle. Blue color symbolizes loyalty and truth, yellow color symbolizes generosity and black color, constancy. When the crown is incorporated (heraldic piece) it distinguishes the degrees obtained in the nobility scale.
The most illustrious representation of the Borghese Family coat of arms, given its importance and distinction in history, was used by the Prince of the Apostles, Pope Paul V, and adorns the facade of St. Peter's Basilica above the main entrance to the Vatican since 1612. Many of Pope Paul V's official inscriptions and records include Romanvs after his name, to strengthen the new Roman family connection, such as the one recorded on the facade of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, with the inscription:
"IN HONOREM MAIN APOST PAVLVS V BVRGHESIVS ROMANVS PONT MAX AN MDCXII PONT VII".
(In honor of the Prince of the Apostles, Paul V Borghese Roman Pontiff Maximus 1612, seventh year of his pontificate).
* For all intents and purposes, it should be noted that princely families, with the qualification of SOVEREIGNS, do not need any recognition by the government of their country of origin, nor do they submit to any registration in any governmental body of the countries where their members take up residence. This political and dynastic independence is based on its own Sovereignty and INTERNATIONAL JURISPRUDENCE, which guide its social and legal existence regardless of any recognition, with regard to dynastic and private matters, thus preserving the Sovereign, in all its fullness, the governing power in the internal relations of the Royal House and institutions maintained by it.
