Beatrice dei Principi Borromeo Arese Taverna (born 18 August 1985 in San Candido)[5] is a member of the ancient aristocratic House of Borromeo. She is the wife of Pierre Casiraghi, younger son of Caroline, Princess of Hanover.[6]
Background
She is the daughter of Don Carlo Ferdinando Borromeo, Count of Arona (born in 1935), the son of Vitaliano Borromeo, 2nd Prince of Angera, and his long-time companion, Countess Donna Paola Marzotto (born in 1955).
Through her father she is related to Carlo Borromeo (1538–1584), who became a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, Archbishop of Milan, and a canonized saint. The family currently owns most of the Borromean Islands in the Lago Maggiore, Milan city, and many other estates in the Lombardy and Piedmont countrysides.
She has an older brother, Carlo Ludovico Borromeo, who married Marta Ferri (born 21 July 1984[7]), daughter of Italian photographer Fabrizio Ferri,[8] on 30 June 2012 on the island of Pantelleria.[9][10][11]
Beatrice has three older half-sisters from her father's marriage to German model Marion Sybil Zota:[12]
- Donna Isabella (born Isabella Borromeo Arese Taverna on 3 February 1975); married Count Ugo Brachetti Peretti.[13]
- Donna Lavinia (born Lavinia Ida Borromeo Arese Taverna on 10 March 1977); married John Elkann, son of Margherita Agnelli de Pahlen and Alain Elkann.[14]
- Donna Matilde (born Matilde Borromeo Arese Taverna on 8 August 1983); married Prince Antonius zu Fürstenberg (born 1975), son of Heinrich, Prince of Fürstenberg.[15][16]
Her maternal grandmother was the fashion designer Marta Marzotto (née Vacondio),[17] ex-wife of Count Umberto Marzotto.[18][19] Her uncle, Count Matteo Marzotto, is the former president and director of the Valentino fashion house at the time the label belonged to the Marzotto Group.
Education
She finished secondary education, in 2002, at Milan's Liceo Classico Giovanni Berchet.[3] Borromeo received a bachelor of laws from Bocconi University, Milan in 2010, under supervision of prof. Lorenzo Cuocolo. She began to work toward a Masters in Journalism from Columbia University Journalism School in the fall semester of 2011,[20] at last receiving the degree in May 2012.[21]
Career
Beatrice was a contributor to Newsweek and the Daily Beast in 2013. Prior to that, and from the newspaper's beginning in 2009, she worked as a full-time reporter for Il Fatto Quotidiano. She continued in that position through the year 2016.[3] She has appeared on many television shows in Italy, beginning with Anno Zero on Rai 2 where she worked for two years, from 2006 to 2008.[3] Every week she interviewed an average three guests on political development and social evils. In 2009, she even hosted a weekly show on the Radio 105 Network.[3] She interviewed Roberto Saviano, the famous author of Gomorrah, for Above magazine's June 2009 issue.[3] She also interviewed American author of LA Confidential James Ellroy[22] and former candidate for Colombia's presidency Ingrid Betancourt both for Il Fatto Quotidiano. For the same newspaper, she interviewed Marcello Dell'Utri,[23] Italian Senator and co-founder of Forza Italia. In the interview, Dell'Utri admitted to have entered politics to get immunity in order to escape his arrest. Her first article for Il Fatto Quotidiano, published on 14 September 2009, was about Vito De Filippo, then-president of the Italian region of Basilicata, allocating European funds for the Miss Italia contest.[24]
Borromeo directed Mamma Mafia, a documentary about mafia women: its preview was released by the Newsweek Daily Beast Company on 31 January 2013. That was her sole film in the English language. She has directed several documentaries in the Italian language, ranging from topics as the women of 'Ndrangheta, selfie surgery, and the children of Caivano.[3]
Speaking of the children who live in the slums of Caivano, Borromeo said: "These children never get to be children. They live in horror and daily terror and that seems to be normal."[3][25]
Borromeo collaborated with Marco Travaglio and Vauro Senesi on the book Italia Annozero (Chiarelettere, 2009).
She also wrote the preface for Birgit Hamer's Delitto senza castigo: La Vera Storia di Vittorio Emanuele di Savoia. (Aliberti, 2011).[26] Birgit Hamer is a very old family friend; her mother is dear friends with Borromeo's mother, and Borromeo has admitted to having grown up hearing about the murder of Dirk Hamer from his sisters, including Birgit.[3] Borromeo broke the story of the video confession of Vittorio Emanuele,[27] who subsequently sued the newspaper for defamation. In 2015 a court ruled in favour of the newspaper.[28] Borromeo then posted on Twitter: "Vincere una causa e' sempre piacevole, ma contro Vittorio Emanuele di Savoia la goduria è doppia!" ("Winning a case is always nice, but against Victor Emmanuel of Savoy the pleasure is double"),[29] which resulted in spat on social media with his son Emanuele Filiberto.[28]

The religious ceremony took place on 1 August 2015 on Isola Bella, one of the Borromean Islands on Lake Maggiore, Italy.
