==Early life and early career== {{Unsourced section|date=March 2024}} Junio Valerio Borghese was born in [[Artena]], [[Province of Rome]], [[Kingdom of Italy]]. He was born into a prominent [[nobility|noble]] family of Sienese origin, the [[House of Borghese]], of which Pope [[Paul V]] was a notable member. His father, Livio Borghese, was the 11th [[Prince of Sulmona]] and younger brother to the more famous [[Scipione Borghese, 10th Prince of Sulmona|Scipione Borghese]]. Borghese was the second son of the prince and, as such, had the title of Patrician of Rome, Naples and Venice and the style of ''[[Don (honorific)|Don]] Junio Valerio Borghese''. However, the press and the English-language historiography routinely used the courtesy style ''Prince Junio Valerio Borghese''. Borghese was first educated in [[London]], [[England]], and, from 1923, he attended the [[Accademia Navale di Livorno|Royal Italian Navy Academy (''Accademia Navale'')]] in [[Livorno]]. In 1929, the naval career of Borghese began. By 1933, he was a submarine commander. Borghese took part in the [[Second Italo-Abyssinian War]]. During the Italian intervention in the [[Spanish Civil War]], he was in command of the [[Italian submarine Iride|submarine ''Iride'']], where he allegedly lost two seamen after his unit was depth-charged by the British destroyer [[HMS Havock (H43)|HMS ''Havock'']].
