Princess Olga is the wife of Prince Aimone of Savoy-Aosta, Duke of Apulia.
Princess Olga grew up in Paris and New York, spending summers at the family's island retreat at Patmos, Greece. She chose to attend boarding school in England, studied history in Rome, and is a graduate of Princeton University. She also holds a degree from Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. Although Olga worked for a while in interior decoration, she went to Panama to photograph and study phalaena.

She is also a journalist and filmmaker.
