Papafava
The Papafava (sometimes also ''Pappafava'', more precisely ''Papafava dei Carraresi'') were an aristocratic family of Padua, a junior branch of the Carraresi. It was admitted into the Venetian patriciate among the so-called ''Houses Made for Money''. History The family is a branch of the most famous Carraresi: the first to bear the nickname Papafava was a Giacomino da Carrara, Viceroy of Vicenza in 1269, who lived in the 13th century. The lord of Padua Marsilietto Papafava from Carrara was part of the Papafava family branch. The original branch, the one of Papafava dei Carraresi, settled in Venice, where as a result of the financial support that its members gave to the Republic in the War of Candia against the Ottomans, in 1652 they were referred to the Venetian patrician in the person of Cav. Bonifacio Papafava, thus ensuring access to the Greater Council. The Papafava of the Carraresi were confirmed noble by the Austrian imperial government with the Sovereign Resolution of ...

Carraresi
The House of Carrara or Carraresi (da Carrara) was an important family of northern Italy in the 12th to 15th centuries. The family held the title of Lords of Padua from 1318 to 1405. Under their rule, Padua conquered Verona, Vicenza, Treviso, Feltre, Belluno, Bassano, Aquileia and Udine, thus controlling much of the Veneto and part of Friuli. However, in 1405 Padua and the da Carrara family were defeated by the Republic of Venice, that effectively prevented the creation of a large regional state with Padua as its capital. History As '' signori'' of Padua, their overwhelming power and patronage placed them in an isolated position far outshining any other single family. Their extensive land holdings in the Paduan ''contado'' were supplemented by extensive property within the ''comune'' itself, and their political prominence made them comparable to the Scaligeri of contemporary Verona, or the Visconti of Milan. Margaret Plant has examined how "in its period of domination in Padu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Andrea Cittadella Vigodarzere
Andrea is a given name which is common worldwide for both males and females, cognate to Andreas, Andrej and Andrew. Origin of the name The name derives from the Greek word ἀνήρ (''anēr''), genitive ἀνδρός (''andrós''), that refers to man as opposed to woman (whereas ''man'' in the sense of ''human being'' is ἄνθρωπος, ''ánthropos''). The original male Greek name, ''Andréas'', represents the hypocoristic, with endearment functions, of male Greek names composed with the ''andr-'' prefix, like Androgeos (''man of the earth''), Androcles (''man of glory''), Andronikos (''man of victory'').

Ottoboni Family
The Ottoboni were an aristocratic Venetian family, who gained prominence in Rome after the 17th century, mainly due to the papacy of Alexander VIII and his cardinal nephew, Pietro Ottoboni, known for his patronage of musicians and painters. Cardinal Ottoboni's acceptance of a role representing France at the Holy See was objected to by the Serene Republic, whose senate had not been consulted first. A recent infraction of the rule that no Venetian citizen should serve a foreign power without the express leave of the Serenissima rankled at Venice: Cardinal Vincenzo Grimani had moved to Vienna in 1699 and was appointed viceroy of Naples in 1708. Cardinal Ottoboni did not placate the Senate, and the Ottoboni were ceremonially erased from the ''Libro d'Oro'' and their properties confiscated. The diplomatic rupture between France and Venice was soon smoothed over, but the Ottoboni remained in disgrace.William Carew Hazlitt, ''The Venetian Republic: Its Rise, Its Growth, and Its Fall 421-1 ...

Boncompagni
The Boncompagni is a princely family of the Italian nobility who settled in Bologna around the 14th century, but which was probably originally from Umbria. In 1572 they obtained the papal throne thanks to Ugo Boncompagni, who, with the name of Pope Gregory XIII, was elected pope. Since then, the rise of the family began. In fact, in 1579, the pope bought the Duchy of Sora from the Della rovere family for his son Giacomo, whose descendants reigned there as dukes until 1796. Later they also obtained the Principality of Piombino, following the marriage of Gregorio II Boncompagni with Ippolita Ludovisi, princess of Piombino and last of her dynasty. They reigned over Piombino, like Boncompagni-Ludovisi, until the deposition in 1801 of the last prince, Antonio II Boncompagni Ludovisi. History Bolognese family, perhaps originally from Umbria, rose from the middle class to which it belonged thanks to the marriage of Cristoforo Boncompagni (1470 - 1546) with the noble Angela Marescalchi. ...

Giovanni Gozzadini
Giovanni Gozzadini (15 October 1810 – 25 August 1887) was an Italian archeologist. The last male heir of a noble family in Bologna, that had given the city men-at-arms, doctors, and jurists, Giovanni was a highly educated man in other areas such as politics. His excavations in a necropolis on his property at Villanova (Castenaso, eight kilometers south-east of Bologna), lasting from 1853 to 1855, involved 193 tombs, six of which were separated from the rest as if to signify a special social status. The "well tomb" pit graves lined with stones contained funerary urns. Thus were unearthed the first remains of the Villanovan culture, the first Iron Age culture in ancient Italy. The name Villanovan derives from that of the estate owned by Gozzadini. He also undertook the first excavations that brought to light the Etruscan necropolis at Marzabotto, financed by the conti Aria, who were the landowners of the entire Pianura di Misano.
