Prince Filippo Andrea Doria Pamphili Landi (1 March 1886 – 3 February 1958) was an Italian politician and nobleman, who succeeded his father as the 13th Prince of Melfi in 1914.
Life
The only surviving son of Prince Alfonso Doria Pamphili, a Senator of Italy, and Lady Emily Pelham-Clinton,[1] his grandfather also married an English aristocrat, Lady Mary Talbot, whom he met at Queen Victoria's coronation.
Prince Filippo was the first Mayor of Rome elected after World War II, and its last mayor under the Kingdom of Italy.
In 1921 he married Gesine Mary Dykes, OStJ, a Scottish nurse who had brought him back to health after he had been injured in a sculling accident while at Cambridge.
She predeceased him in 1955 and Prince Filippo died in Rome, Italy. Their only child, Princess Orietta, succeeded him as the 14th and last holder of the family's princely title.[2]
