Elisabetta was born in Rome on 9 September 1987, the only child of Italian film producerNob. Ettore Rosboch von Wolkenstein (born in 1945) and his wife Countess Anna Maria "Lilia" de Smecchia, also a film producer.
Her godfather and uncle was the so-called "editor prince" Don Carlo Caracciolo, 9th Prince di Castagneto and 4th Duke di Melito, who, with Donna Marella Caracciolo di Castagneto, wife of Fiat tycoon Gianni Agnelli, are Ettore's half-siblings, all children of Don Filippo Caracciolo, 8th Prince di Castagneto, Elisabetta's grandfather.
Elisabetta's paternal grandmother, née Elisabeth von Jaworski (1915-1959) then by courtesy Jaworski von Wolkenstein, had been a widow for months of Italian Finance Undersecretary (turned film producer) Ettore Bernardo Rosboch (19 Apr 1893 - 18 Aug 1944), when her son Ettore was born extramaritally to Don Filippo (Carlo and Marella Caracciolo were born of his only marriage to American heiress Margaret Clarke). In 2008 Don Carlo left Elisabetta and her father US$1 million in his will. Elisabetta's godmother is her aunt, Countess Muni Sassoli de' Bianchi, her mother's sister.
Through the Italian princely families of Caracciolo and Ruffo (to the latter of which Amedeo's maternal grandmother, Queen Paola, belongs by birth), Amedeo and Elisabetta both descend from Giuseppe Tiberio Ruffo, Count of Sinopoli (1627-1683), while through German princely dynasties their most recent common ancestor is Franz Albrecht I, Prince of Oettingen-Spielberg (1663-1737). Through her paternal grandmother, Elisabetta descends from Gustav I, King of Sweden.
