Life

Giovanni Battista Ludovisi was the son and heir of Niccolò I Ludovisi and his third wife Costanza Pamphili, sister of Vatican Cardinal Camillo Pamphili. He had four sisters, Lavinia (wife of Girolamo Acquaviva, Duke of Atri), Olimpia, Ippolita and Nicolina. Giovanni inherited his parents' domains the Ludovisi de Candia and the Pamphili, including the Principality of Piombino on 1 September 1665. In 1690 he sold the Duchy of Fiano to the Ottoboni family of Venice.

He was a Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece.

Giovanni married in 1669 María de Moncada, of the House of Montcada, daughter of Guillén Ramón de Moncada, 4th Marquess of Aytona, who died in 1670, and wife and twice cousin Doña Ana de Silva of the Marquesses of Orani. María died in Rome in 1694 without leaving children.

In 1697, Giovanni married a second time to Anna Maria Arduino, Furnari dei Notarbartolo. From his marriage to Arduino, they produced one son, Niccolò II Maria Domenico Ludovisi, born in or c. 1698 and who died in 1699 at the age of one. His second wife died in Naples on 29 December 1700.

After his death, the Principality succession fell to his young son under the regency of his widow, and a few months later after his son died, it was passed on to his sister Olimpia as Princess of Piombino in 1700. She died after several months on 27 November of the same year and was succeeded by her youngest surviving sister Ippolita.
