Elisa Mohr was born in Naples in 1830. Her father was Martino Mohr, and I am still researching her mother. It took quite a long time to figure out how a woman from Lucerne married a man from the Caracciolo family. As it turned out, Martino Mohr was a Captain in the Swiss Guard assigned to the Neapolitan Army. Filippo Caracciolo di Torchiarolo, whom she married on May 12, 1850, was a Lt. in the Horse Guard of the Neapolitan Army at the same time as Martino.
Her family has a long history back to Lucerne, and while the Swiss did not have Noble families, the Mohr’s are one of the prominent Lucerne families dating back to the 1500’s. She passed away in Naples in 1872.
