ROME, Jan. 6. -Don Camillo Caetani, Prince of Bassiano and the last male heir of a family which has ranked among the nobility of Italy for 3,000 years, had died of wounds, in an Albanian hospital, it was learned today. Prince Caetani, twenty-five years old and a first lieutenant of infantry, was a graduate of Harvard University and was the only son of the former Marguerite Chapin, of Springfield, Mass.
By his death in the war against Greece, a direct family line was extinguished which provided Italy over many centuries with many of this country's most influential citizens, including Pope Boniface VIII, the mortal enemy of the poet Dante and Philip the Fair of France.
