The House of Cattaneo (Italian: [katˈtaːneo] ; Ligurian : Catànio [kaˈtani.u] ) is a Genoese noble family, that had an important role in the history of the Republic of Genoa, giving five Doges to the Republic. [1] [2]
In 1309 the Della Volta family, with the families Mallone, Bustarino, Marchione, Stancone, Ingone, and Libertino formed the Albergo Cattaneo (first of these consortium institutions), thus putting this new surname before theirs. Its origin dates back to the mission of the very powerful Ingo della Volta as ambassador of Genoa in Pavia, in 1161. On this occasion he was appointed cattaneo ("captain", in old Italian [3] ).
A branch of the family moved to Naples, having one of its members as prince of San Nicandro in 1650. [1]
The various families of the Albergo Cattaneo, after XIV century, on occasions when it was necessary to refer to the ancestors of the Cattaneo family, will always qualify by specifying the original surname of the family of origin.
In 1528, the following families remained to establish the Albergo "Cattaneo": Bava, Borrelli, Bozzoni, Canessa, Carizia, Cattaneo, Chiavari, Foglietta, Lagomarsino, Lasagna, Lazzari, Leccavela, Oliva, Pietra, Riccoboni, Stella, Tagliacarne, Vento, Zerbino.
With the reform of the 1528 of the Alberghi in Genoa, the Cattaneo went on to form the "XXII Albergo". In addition to those that were already part of it, many other families were ascribed to it. Below are the families who were registered at the Albergo Cattaneo:
