Her godfather and uncle was the so-called "editor prince" Don Carlo Caracciolo, 9th Prince di Castagneto and 4th Duke di Melito, who, with Donna Marella Caracciolo di Castagneto, wife of Fiat tycoon Gianni Agnelli, are Ettore's half-siblings, all children of Don Filippo Caracciolo, 8th Prince di Castagneto, Elisabetta's grandfather.[1]

Ettore Bernardo Rosboch (19 Apr 1893 - 18 Aug 1944),[5] when her son Ettore was born to Don Filippo[1] (Carlo and Marella Caracciolo were born of his marriage to American heiress Margaret Clarke).[6] In 2008 Don Carlo left Elisabetta and her father US$1 million in his will.[1] Elisabetta's godmother is her aunt, Countess Muni Sassoli de' Bianchi, her mother's sister.[7]
