The House of Ruffo di Calabria is the name of an ancient, one of the most prominent and longest-standing Italian noble families.[1]

It was already one of the seven most important houses of the Kingdom of Naples.[2] Their most notable members include Rembrandt's patron Antonio Ruffo, Russian princess Elisabetta di Sasso Ruffo, the flying ace Fulco Ruffo di Calabria and his daughter Paola Ruffo di Calabria, queen-consort of Albert II of Belgium.
