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.
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, [1] who lived in the 13th century. [2] [3] [4] 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 [4] 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 November 22, 1817. [5]
A secondary branch, but no less important, was that of the Papafava Antonini, resident in Padua. Those, members of the noble council of Padua, occupied important municipal offices. They were never united with the Venetian patriciate but gained the comic title connected with the civil and criminal jurisdiction of the villas of Silvella and Coseano, which were invested on September 23, 1745 by Doge Pietro Grimani. [6]
After the fall of the Serenissima, their nobility was recognized by Vienna with the Sovereign Resolution of September 4, 1818; the rank of accounts of the Austrian Empire was granted on October 19, 1823. [6]
There is also a foundation Tasca or Papafava in Castello, in Venice.

Longhi is an Italian surname of ancient origin, initially spelled as Longo, of which Longhi is plural. Some groups gained great power in the Middle Ages and into the modern era, holding dozens of titles of nobility and vast estates in north-central Italy. The surname appears in many dialectal variants, such as Longis, Longoni, Longa, Longhù, Longi, Longu and others. In addition to the Longus, the plural Longi is usually found in Latin texts. However, since in Italian longo means "long", "tall", "ancient" or "long", and is a word of common usage, it is likely that many of the numerous groups scattered throughout Italy had independent origins.
