The fourth Rothschild brother, Carl (1788-1855), established the fifth Rothschild House in Naples in 1821 when he travelled to the city to negotiate a loan to the Government of Ferdinand II. Carl took up residence in Italy with his wife Adelheid and their five children. For the rest of his life he divided his time between his native Frankfurt and Naples.
The family supported a number of institutions in both cities. In the last years of his life, Carl designated the sum of 30,000 gulden to a fund of which the interest was to be used to support scholarships to Jewish students from the Frankfurt community.
