Duke Roberto I of Parma, and his family of 24 children

I recently found the 2nd of these 2 pics misindentified (at least according to me) as one ofEmpress Elisabeth of Austria's sisters. Do you think she could be Luisa Bardi ? (that is if we agree that the woman on the first pic is Luisa Bardi)

What a lovely picture  Agneschen! Thanks for posting it. I looks to me it is the same woman, Luisa of Bardi. It is for sure not a sister of Empress Elisabeth.

Many thanks, Agneschen for posting this very interesting picture. I am very happy to se it. I think also she might be Maria Immacolata LUISA di Borbone of Two Sicilie, Count of Bardi's first spouse. (1855-1874)
Here above a pic of Luisa younger, already posted...

Nice pictures, REMI and Agneschen, thanks for posting!
But I have another question: Are there any pictures of Beatrice (1879-1946), one of daughters of Roberto of Parma from his first marriage with Maria Pia? She was one of three healthy children from this marriage and she was married with Count (?) Luchesi-Palli.

REMI, I'm sure you know that the little picture of Beatrice is part of a wonderful family group. It would be great to know which face belongs to which name. Are you able to identify all family members - I guess I'm not.

Here it is:

Thanks a lot. You are very kind. I have to write the names down and keep this sheet of paper in my Bourbon-Parma book. :-)

Where was taken this picture? Villa Pianore?

Where was taken this picture? Villa Pianore?

Paola,the two pics we were talking about two days ago were taken in Schwarzau in 1894 and 1906.
In Italy, the name of the estate is: la villa delle Pianore or in english the villa of the Pianore.

Thanks REMI for telling the right name of the villa I would like someday to visit villa of the Pianore. Is  it private property of the Bourbons Parma? And do you know if the other property of this family - Villa Borbone, Tenuta Reale, Viareggio -  is open to public?
