The Bachelor Rome - Episode One

The Bachelor is back, and this time he's not just a figurative Prince Charming -- he's the real deal! Prince Lorenzo Borghese's family name can be found all over Italy's capital -- on Rome's most prominent park, on buildings and on street signs -- even on the Vatican itself. Though he's American, his family goes back centuries in Italy, with a pope and even the sister of Emperor Napoleon in the family tree. His grandmother, Princess Marcella Borghese, founded a well-known cosmetics company in the 1950s, and today his family is one of the largest importers of Italian cosmetics in the world. Born in Italy, Lorenzo has grown up in the United States and comes across as a regular American guy. He lives and works in New York City, and as much as he loves it, finds it hard to meet the right girl there. He has a difficult time finding a woman who will like him for him as opposed to his lineage and title. He never mentions that he's a prince and doesn't use his title, but his friends find it convenient to bring up in conversations with women they're trying to impress -- pretty much ruining the modest Lorenzo's evenings out.
