It would help if you could narrow down the ancestry. Italian names are very different from French names, etc.
If I focus on the Italian part, then:Father: CesareIf I assume they had kids in an English-speaking place, probably the U.S. I would go for simpler names that are variants of names used in Italy (I wouldn't recommend something like Gwendolyn):Son: Adrian (Also a Roman emperor, I guess the father would like "powerful" names like his own for a boy)
Daughter: ElenaMother: Caterina

Father- Cesare for sure. It sounds powerful, controlling, and a bit slimy.Son- Vidal. Cesare would totally name his son Vidal. I imagine him as a bit of a "pretty boy" sort.Daughter- Elena or Gwendolyn. I could see them going either plain and simple or overly elegant for a name for a daughter. I lean toward Gwendolyn.Mother- Caterina. A usual name as she was expect to be usual, but then she wasn't . . .
