A member of a noble family of Genoese origin that established itself in Naples in the 16th century, Ceva Grimaldi was born in Naples, the son of Marcello Ceva Grimaldi and Camilla Maria Correggio. He wrote a number of books, the most well-known of which is Memorie storiche della città di Napoli. He was married firstly to Raffaella Monforte (died 1846) and secondly to Maria Lanza di Trebbia.
