Origins & Dynastic Lineage
The House of Colonna descends from Peter de Columna, son of Gregory III of the Counts of Tusculum, who held his fief at Colonna Castle in the Alban Hills east of Rome around 1099-1151. The Colonna name derives from the Greek word kolona — meaning column — the same root that produces Columbus and Colombo. The Counts of Tusculum were the most powerful secular noblemen in Latium between the 10th and 12th centuries, producing six popes and an antipope.
"According to tradition, the Colonna family is a branch of the Counts of Tusculum — by Peter (1099-1151) son of Gregory III, called Peter 'de Columna' from his property the Columna Castle in Colonna, Alban Hills." — Wikipedia: Colonna Family
The family claims descent from the Julio-Claudian dynasty that ruled ancient Rome — the emperors who conquered Ptolemaic Egypt and intermarried with the Ptolemaic line. The Italian noble Ptolemie family, established in the 12th century, claims ancestry from the Ptolemaic Dynasty and purchased the fiefdom of Patrica directly from the Colonnas in 1503, cementing this dynastic thread. Cologne, Germany was originally named Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium — named for the Julio-Claudians.
The Tusculan popes include: John XI (931-935), John XII (955-964), Benedict VII (974-983), Benedict VIII (1012-1024), John XIX (1024-1032), and Benedict IX (1032-1048). The Colonna family went on to supply Pope Martin V — born Prince Oddone Colonna — who is suspected by researchers to be the biological father of Christopher Columbus.
Vatican & Papal Authority
The Colonnas hold one of the most powerful hereditary positions at the Vatican: Prince Assistants to the Papal Throne, a title formally held since 1710. These are the only hereditary posts still active at the Vatican. The two current Prince Assistants are Prince Prospero Colonna di Paliano and Don Alessandro Torlonia. Together, the Colonna and Torlonia families co-manage the Pope and serve as the operational bridge between the Black Nobility and the Church's institutional power.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, operates under the Colonna family's oversight. The Colonnas also manage the Vatican's Catholic infrastructure in Ireland through Prince Prospero Colonna di Stigliano, who oversees the Grand Lodge of Ireland and the Catholic Church there. The Colonna di Stiglianos have recently established active residences in Ireland to strengthen this control directly.
Prince Guido Colonna di Paliano (1908-1982) served as Italy's Vice-Consul to New York City (1934-1937) and later became a European Commissioner and a member of the Trilateral Commission — demonstrating the family's reach across diplomatic, political, and globalist institutional frameworks simultaneously.
Christopher Columbus & the Colonna Connection
Christopher Columbus was a relative of the Colonnas — his name Colombo directly derives from the same root as Colonna. Born in Genoa, Columbus was partly financed by the Doria banking family, who have intermarried with the Colonnas multiple times. Columbus claimed the Americas for Rome under Spanish Catholic monarchy sponsorship. The South American nation of Colombia is named after him. Columbus was likely an illegitimate son of Pope Martin V — born Prince Oddone Colonna.
Columbus's son Diego Colon married Maria de Toledo, niece of the Duke of Alba — directly linking the Columbus lineage into the Colonna's Spanish noble branch, the House of Toledo and Alvarez de Toledo, Dukes of Alba. Salamanca, where the Dukedom of Alba de Tormes is located, bears both the Colonna columns and the Barberini bees on its coat of arms.
Organized Crime Network
The Colonnas are the primary owners of the Colombo crime family — the youngest of New York's Five Families — and co-owners of the Chicago Outfit. They hold partial ownership in the Polish-Jewish Mafia, the Irish Mafia in Cleveland, and the Motisi Mafia clan of Sicily. Their ancestor Baron Niccolo Turrisi Colonna of Palermo was suspected by the President of the Italian Senate to be the actual head of the Sicilian mafia in the 19th century — while publicly positioning himself as a critic of it.
"The President of the Senate, Domenico Farini, revealed that two deputies confided that Turrisi Colonna was the politician who, taking advantage of his role, provided protection for mafia members; moreover, he was the link between a certain collusive policy and local entrepreneurship." — Translated Italian archive
Chris Colombo is identified as the current top boss of the Colombo crime syndicate. Michael Franzese — publicly presented as a reformed gangster — is identified as an active high-level consiglieri still operating within the Colombos. Franzese was named by Vanity Fair as one of the biggest mob earners since Al Capone, generating an estimated $5-8 million per week at his peak.
The Chicago Outfit is co-managed by the Colonnas alongside the Florentine Capponi family — headed by Count Neri, Count Sebastiano, and Count Niccolo Capponi — and the Rosselli Del Turco family, headed by Marquis Niccolo Rosselli Del Turco. The Colonna-Capponi alliance traces back historically to the Siege of Florence, when Stefano Colonna di Palestrina served as Florentine Militia Commander.
The Andrew Kissel case illustrates how the Colombo-Colonna network uses violence to manage white-collar crime. Kissel, a Jewish real estate developer, was ripping off a New York co-op board of millions for the Colombo family. He was subsequently murdered by Colombian contract killers Carlos and Leonard Trujillo — operating under Colombo orders — to silence him permanently.
Finance, Industry & Corporate Infiltration
Prince Filippo Colonna di Paliano — son of Prince Prospero Colonna, Prince Assistant to the Papal Throne — works as a Consultant at Bain & Company in London, educated at Cambridge University. Mitt Romney was the CEO of Bain & Company and co-founded Bain Capital, which manages over $75 billion in assets. The name Romney derives from "Roman." Romney's son Tagg Romney runs Solamere Capital — identified as an agent of the Massimo family, who have intermarried with the Colonnas.
The DuPont family, worth approximately $14.3 billion across an estimated 3,500 family members, uses the Colonna column on their coat of arms. In the 19th century Princess Livia Colonna married Duke Fernando Alvarez de Toledo, and their grandson Alvaro Alvarez de Toledo married Anna Maria DuPont — cementing the bloodline merger. DuPont, now called DowDuPont, is one of the world's largest chemical companies with approximately $46 billion in assets. John Jakob Raskob — a Vatican Knight of Saint Gregory and Knight of Malta — was both a DuPont financial executive and the developer who built the Empire State Building.
Stefano Pessina, worth approximately $8.7-13 billion, is the primary shareholder of Walgreens Boots Alliance — headquartered in Chicago — and is identified as a Colonna agent operating through Rosicrucian and Martinist networks. Non-noble relative Stefano Colonna developed the Julia-Colonna epoxidation process now used at industrial scale by Bayer and Evonik.
The Colaninno family — identified as a covert northern Italian branch of the Colonnas — runs Piaggio (Roberto and Matteo Colaninno) and controls IMMSI, a holding company covering real estate, resorts, hotels, and scooters. Jerry Colonna, a New York financier, helped establish Silicon Valley and founded Flatiron Partners, which made billions for companies including JP Morgan Chase.
Secret Orders & Masonic Control
The Colonnas own the Knights of Columbus, currently headed by Supreme Knight Carl Anderson, who is also a Knight Grand Cross of three papal orders and a practicing attorney in Washington DC. The Knights of Columbus have nearly 2 million members, many of whom are police officers and federal agents — functioning as an infiltration network for Cosa Nostra inside law enforcement and the judiciary.
Freemasonry's use of two columns in Masonic temples is interpreted as covertly symbolizing the two Colonna princely lines: Stigliano and Paliano. The biblical pillars Boaz and Jachin of Solomon's Temple are the formal justification, but the Colonna column appears on Masonic imagery, the DuPont coat of arms, the flag of Salamanca, and numerous connected institutions.
Prince Urbano Riario-Sforza-Barberini-Colonna di Sciarra — an Italian prince, actor, and comedian — is identified as the top authority over the Royal Order of Jesters. The Jesters' connection to prostitution and sex trafficking is documented: in 2010, an Erie County Sheriff's Deputy pleaded guilty in federal court to transporting women for sex acts at a Royal Order of Jesters national convention in Niagara Falls, Canada.
Prince Oddone Colonna manages the Oddfellow Order, co-managed by the Barons Strange of the UK and Prince Edward Windsor, Duke of Kent, the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England. Martinism is managed by the Colonnas through Prince Stefano Colonna di Paliano, who oversees chemical/pharmaceutical companies and the Martinist and Rosicrucian orders. Freemasons are identified as founding Mormonism — and the most common symbol in both Freemasonry and Utah is the beehive, which appears on the Barberini (Colonna-merged) coat of arms as three bees.
Political Infiltration: New York & Beyond
The Colonnas exert control over New York City politics through a network of Jesuit-educated politicians, police chiefs, and judges — most commonly through Fordham University and Jesuit law schools:
| Individual | Role | Jesuit Connection | Colonna/Colombo Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Andrew Cuomo | Governor of New York | Fordham University B.A. | Associate of Colombo syndicate; Albany Law (Alban Hills connection) |
| Terence Monahan | Chief of NYPD (40th) | Fordham University B.A. | Covert Knight of Columbus; NYPD infiltrated by Jesuits |
| Benjamin Tucker | First Deputy Commissioner, NYPD | Fordham Law J.D. | NYPD upper command Jesuit-dominated |
| Peter Vallone Sr. | NYC Council (Astoria, Queens, 1974-2001) | Fordham B.S.S. and L.L.B. | Covert associate of Colombo syndicate |
| Peter Vallone Jr. | NYC Judge, Queens Civil Court | Fordham B.A. and Law | Part of Vallone political machine working under Colonnas |
| Paul Vallone | NYC Council Member, 19th District | Fordham B.A. | Three-generation Fordham-Colonna political dynasty |
| Curtis Sliwa | Founder, Guardian Angels; 2021 Mayoral Candidate | Brooklyn Prep (Jesuit) | Covert Colombo associate; Polish-Italian Catholic background |
Governor Mario Cuomo's aide Steve Villano admitted his brother Michael Villano was a bag man for John Gotti Sr. simultaneously while Steve served on Mario's staff — documented in Villano's own memoir. Obama's associate Tony Rezko was convicted of wire fraud and money laundering, and Obama's friend Alexi Giannoulias' Broadway Bank financed multiple mobsters. The Clintons and Obamas are identified as covert associates of the Chicago Mafia.
The United States Corporation & Roman Architecture
The United States is legally defined as a federal corporation under US Code Title 28, Section 3002(15)(A). The Virginia Company was transformed into the United States corporation in 1776 by Freemasonic Founding Fathers — George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Hancock, and Benjamin Franklin — who operated under the Grand Lodge of England. The Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England in 1776 was Robert Petre, 9th Baron Petre, a Roman Catholic British noble.
The Roman fasces symbol — a bundle of sticks with an axe, from which "fascism" derives — appears throughout federal buildings, federal seals, and the flag of Norte de Santander, Colombia. John Jakob Raskob, who built the Empire State Building, was simultaneously a Knight of Malta, a Vatican Knight of Saint Gregory, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and a financial executive for DuPont and General Motors.
Barberini Merger, Mormonism & Freemasonry
In 1728, the Carbognano branch of the Colonna family (Colonna di Sciarra) merged with the Barberini family, adopting the combined name. The Barberinis use three bees on their coat of arms. The most common symbol of Mormonism is the beehive. Utah — founded by Mormons — is officially the "Beehive State," with beehive sculptures prominently placed at the Utah State Capitol. Freemasonry founded Mormonism: Joseph Smith's older brother Hyrum and possibly his father were Freemasons. Mitt Romney's family are a prominent Mormon dynasty alongside the Marriotts, Huntsmans, and Pratts.
The current head of the Barberinis is Prince Benedetto Francesco Barberini, Prince of Palestrina (born 1961). The merged line produces Prince Urbano Riario-Sforza-Barberini-Colonna di Sciarra, who holds titles including Prince of Carbognano (11th), Duke of Bassanello (11th), Duke of Nerola (9th), and Duke of Montelibretti (10th).
The Dolan Family Network
Charles Dolan — Jesuit-educated at John Carroll University, worth over $5 billion — founded Cablevision and controls AMC Networks, MSG Networks, and The Madison Square Garden Company through supervoting shares. He is a trustee of Jesuit Fairfield University and identified as an agent of the Colonnas. His son James Dolan manages the Madison Square Garden Company overseeing the New York Knicks and New York Rangers. James Dolan was named as a defendant in a civil lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein. His other son Patrick Dolan manages Newsday. Charles's brother Larry Dolan — Jesuit-educated at Saint Ignatius and Notre Dame — is the principal owner of the Cleveland Indians.
Key Members of the Colonna Crime Family
The family operates through two primary princely lines — Paliano and Stigliano — plus the merged Sciarra branch. Multiple family members share the same first names deliberately to create confusion in research and documentation.

The Colonnas represent the continuity of Roman imperial power operating through the Church, organized crime, finance, secret orders, and media — concealed beneath layers of nobility, philanthropy, and institutional legitimacy. The column that appears on their coat of arms shows up across nations, coats of arms, Masonic temples, and financial empires because it is not coincidence — it is a signature. The same bloodline that produced six popes from the Counts of Tusculum continues to co-manage the papacy, run the largest crime syndicates in America, and hold ownership stakes in trillion-dollar corporate structures. This is documented. People can research this themselves.
