Scarampi is the name of an old and prominent Ghibelline noble family of Asti and its environs in north-west Italy.

History

They were bankers of the Casane astigiane first in Genoa and then in France and in Belgium. In 1337 Antonio Scarampi, in exchange for 115,000 florins, became feudatory of Bubbio, Monastero Bormida, Roccaverano, Cortemilia, Perletto, Cairo, Altare and other places of the Langhe. Oddone, Giacomo and Giovannone, three of the five sons of Antonio, each originated their own lineages. Notably, the lineages that are still present nowadays are: Scarampi del Cairo, Scarampi di Villanova and Scarampi di Pruney.

Notable members

The name Scarampi is also used in the toponyms of various places which were fiefs of the family, including Montaldo Scarampi and San Giorgio Scarampi. Several castles are associated with the Scarampi family, including the Castle of Camino and Castle of Monforte d'Alba.

  3. Cappelletti (p. 398) identifies his tenure of the bishopric as 1336–1339, Casalis as 1337–1340. Capalletti describes him as being Casalese (p.385): this is quite possible, but might also be explained by Camino being close to this more important centre.
