Contessa Rho Guerrieri
(1843–1917)
Biographical
Contessa Rho Guerreri
From the Canavese area, it is unknown when she met King Vittorio Emanuele
II. After the birth of their son, Vittorio Emanuele, the King provided
for them generously. The relationship between the two lasted for some
time until the King separated from her abruptly for reasons that are not
clear, although it has been suspected that the King's favourite mistress,
Rosa Vercellana, was involved.
She had illegitimate issue by King Vittorio Emanuele II of Italy (Savoia).
