About Napoleone Orsini, 7°conte di Tagliacozzo
Napoleone Orsini (c. 1420 – September 1480) was an Italian condottiero.
The son of Orso Orsini of Bracciano, he fought for Pope Eugene IV against Francesco Sforza in 1443. Later, in the 1450s, he flanked Ferdinand of Aragon in the struggle between the Kingdom of Naples and the Duchy of Milan. Subsequently Orsini fought against the rival baronal families of the Colonna and the Anguillara in the Lazio.
In 1461, as Papal commander for Pope Pius II he defeated Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, who was moving to enter the Kingdom of Naples, at Mondolfo, in the Abruzzo. The following year he was appointe commander-in-chief of the Papal Army and warred against Roberto Malatesta, lord of Rimini, being wounded in the course of the campaign.
Orsini did not take part in any relevant military feat thenceforth.

30 August 2011 - information received:
In reading about the recent wedding of Petra Ecclestone to James Stunt I learned that their wedding took place at Castello Orsini-Odescalchi in Italy. The official website for the castle is at http://www.odescalchi.it/pagine.php?idx=1&pg=9 and it indicates that "The construction of the Castle Odescalchi begins in 1470, commissioned by Napoleon Orsini and is completed by his son Virginio Gentil in 1485." Not sure if it's the same Napolean Orsini but it appears to be possible as the time frame is right.
