Princes Of Ottajano
The Princes of Ottajano (or Ottaiano) are a cadet branch of the ducal dynasty of Tuscany. Along with the Veronese Medici Counts of Caprara, and Gavardo, they make up the closest relatives to the main line of the House of Medici, which ended in the 18th century with no descendants.
