Elizabetta the III, Marquise of Elsso (1610 – 1679)
Grand-daughter of Baron Luca & Elizabetta, an educated connoisseur of art, championship archer and accomplished musician. After marrying the Marquess of Elsso, fortunes began to dwindle when her gambling brother became a regular visitor. She often used her jewelry to settle his debts, unaware that he was in fact winning and buying property and collecting rents throughout Kessa.
