An Italian princess could inherit a portion of a billion dollar estate that was mainly left to New York University in 1994, the Sunday Telegraph reported.
A Florence court ruled that Dialta Orlandi, who married a Sicilian prince, is the granddaughter of Arthur Acton, a British art dealer. His son Harold, who died childless in 1994, left most of his property and art collection to NYU in 1994, including a 60-room Florentine villa decorated with 6,000 objects including Flemish tapestries, French dresses and Chinese ceramics.
