Aliprandi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Aliprandi is an Italian family originally from Milan, descending from the Lombards. Wealthy feudal lands in various parts of Lombardy, had supremacy over the city of Monza in municipal period. The House of Aliprandi gave the Catholic Church Blessed Catherine Aliprandi.[1]
An ancient tradition derives the lineage of Aliprandi from the great Lombard King Liutprand (712–744). Documentation of this link consists of ancient manuscripts and other sources. The derivation of the Lombard royal lineage is attested by an inscription dated 1131 in the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Monza, published by eminent historians such as Cantù and Giulini and admitted as proof of nobility for the reception in Order of Santo Stefano and Noble College of Giureconsulti in Milan.
The family Aliprandi was feudal in the eponymous village, which was an independent municipality until the late 19th century, when it was annexed to the city of Lissone.
In Milan, the family appears in the list of noble houses that draw from Ottone Visconti in 1277. Giovanni Aliprandi (1220) begat three sons, Arnolfo, Garibaldo and Bertarino, grandfather of Enrico, Lord of Monza. Giovannolo became the immediate vassal (with the rank of nobility, eminent) of Count Palatine and noble of the Holy Roman Empire with his brothers, his nephew and descendants of Emperor Charles IV of Holy Roman Empire on May 15, 1355.
The Aliprandi-Fanzago
An important branch of the family lived in Clusone in Val Seriana (near Bergamo). At the time of Count Antonio Venturino the family name was changed to Fanzago.
