History

The family emigrated from Albania in the 14th century together with other noble families as the Ottoman Empire expanded across the Balkans and transplanted to Calabria. They resided in Potenza, Basilicata region, as well as Naples in Campania, regions of Southern Italy. The family was awarded the title of Duke since 1722 and held the title of Marquis of Marescotti since 1719.[1]
