Isabella Colonna

Biography

She was the only daughter of Vespasiano Colonna, duke of Traetto (modern Minturno) and count of Fondi, and Beatrice Appiani: However, she grew up with Giulia Gonzaga, Vespasiano's second wife.

In 1531 she married Louis Gonzaga (Rodomonte), an imperial captain of Charles V: the two had a son, Vespasiano I Gonzaga, future Duke of Sabbioneta. One year later Louis died, and Isabella Colonna moved with his parents to Sabbioneta. Later, after quarrels with the latter, she moved to Rivarolo and then, in 1534, to her fiefs in southern Italy.

After she married Filippo Lannoy, prince of Sulmona in 1534, her father-in-law Ludovico Gonzaga opposed, and obtained from the emperor a decree which entrusted Vespasiano's education to his aunt Giulia Gonzaga.

She had 5 children with Philip de Lannoy :

  • Maria, nun in the monastery of Santa Maria Donna Regina in Naples;
  • Carlo (1538 – 1566), 3rd prince of Sulmona and 2nd count of Venafro, married Costanza Doria del Carretto;
  • Beatrice, married first Alfonso de Guevara 5th Count of Potenza, then Alberto Acquaviva d'Aragona, 12th Duke of Atri;
  • Orazio (? – 1597), 4th prince of Sulmona and 3rd count of Venafro, married Antonia d'Avalos;
  • Vittoria (? – 1594), married Giulio Antonio Acquaviva d'Aragona 1st prince of Caserta and 2nd marquess of Bellante.

Isabella Colonna died at Naples in 1570; her eldest son Vespasiano inherited all her possessions.
