records be destroyed. The brothers Mayer Carl and Wilhelm Carl von Rothschild had only daughters (ten in total) and with the 1935 deaths of Emma Louisa de Rothschild (daughter of Mayer Carl) and Adelheid de Rothschild (daughter of Wilhelm Carl), the Neapolitan branch went extinct in the male line. All branches of the Rothschild banking family are famous for their art collections and a number for their palatial estates. Because the Naples branch was run by just two family members, father Carl Mayer von Rothschild, and son Adolphe, the only great property they occupied there was the Villa Pignatelli at Riviera di Chiaia with a spectacular view of Mount Vesuvius, acquired in 1841. Family members Members of the Rothschild family of Naples include: Charlotte von Rothschild (1819–1884) Carl Mayer von Rothschild (1788–1855) Bina Rothschild (1902–1965) See also Rothschild banking family of Austria Rothschild banking family of England Rothschild banking family of France References The Rothschilds; a Family Portrait by Frederic Morton.
