Maria Filippa Johanna Elisabeth Fernanda Yvonne, Princess zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn, was born on July 23rd 1980 as the fourth child of the Prince zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn and Countess Gabriela von Schönborn-Wiesentheid.
On June 10th 2001 she married the Italian Count Vittorio Mazzetti d’Albertis (*1965), a son of Countess Maria Pia d’Albertis and Leopoldo Mazzetti (a remarkable expert in international law).
The civil wedding took place at the Sayn Castle, on June 8th, and it was followed by a pre-wedding ball on June 9th, while the religious wedding occured on June 10th, at the Abbey Church St. Marien in Sayn, with a reception being held in the Castle gardens.
Immediately after their honeymoon, Princess Filippa started working with the renowned Italian photographer Roberto Sisini and her first foreign assignment took her to Cornwall (England). Then on Sunday, September 30th, when she was returning to London, a tragic car accident occurred near Bristol. Princess Filippa died instantly, whilst the driver and the two other occupants survived.
