The House of Chigi (IPA:[ˈkiːdʒi]) is an Italian princely family of Sienese origin descended from the counts of Ardenghesca,[2] which possessed castles in the Maremma, southern Tuscany. Later, the family settled in Rome. The earliest authentic mention of them is in the 13th century, with one Alemanno, counsellor of the Republic of Siena.
