Elisabeth van den Eynde, Princess of Belvedere

Elisabeth van den Eynde, Princess of Belvedere (also spelled Vandeneinden, Vandeneynden, Van den Eynden, and Van den Einden) and suo jure Baroness of Gallicchio and Missanello (14 April 1674 – 14 February 1743) was an Italian noblewoman. She was the consort of Carlo Carafa, 3rd Prince of Belvedere, 6th Marquess of Anzi, and Lord of Trivigno, and the daughter of Ferdinand van den Eynde, 1st Marquess of Castelnuovo and Olimpia Piccolomini, of the House of Piccolomini. Her grandfather was Jan van den Eynde, a wealthy Flemish merchant, banker and art collector who purchased and renovated the Palazzo Zevallos Stigliano in 1653. Her father Ferdinand, the Marquess of Castelnuovo, built the Vandeneynden Palace of Belvedere between 1671 and 1673. While the Palazzo Zevallos in central Naples passed to her elder sister Giovanna, who married a Colonna heir, Elisabeth was given the monumental Palazzo Vandeneynden, alongside a smaller portion of the Marquess' assets, which included his art collection, one of the largest and most valuable in Naples and its surroundings. Upon her marriage to Carlo Carafa, the Vandeneynden Palace came to be known as Villa Carafa.
