The head of the family, Marcantonio moved to Rome in the 16th century and there, following the election (1605) of his son Camillo Borghese as Pope Paul V who was an unabashed nepotist, they rose in power and wealth.
By virtue of the wedding of Olimpia Aldobrandini with Paolo Borghese in 1614, the Borghese claimed the name and the legacy of the rich and papal Aldobrandini for themselves; after extended court battles, they won this recognition in 1769. Many of Paul V's official inscriptions include ROMANUS after his name, to reinforce the family's new Roman connection. Paul bestowed on his nephew the title prince of Vivero on (November 17, 1609), and Philip III of Spain conferred an additional title of prince of Suimona the following year. As a group, the Borghese became some of the largest landowners of the Roman Campagna, increasing their wealth by their strategic direct control of their properties and a concerted policy of assuming monopolies of milling grain and rights to run inns .
The family seat Palazzo Borghese in Rome formerly housed the Borghese art collections, which since 1903 have been established as the Galleria Borghese, located in the family's former property Villa Borghese.
