Giulio, a Sienese nobleman, a lieutenant colonel in the service of the Venetian Republic, died as a valiant fighter against the Turk in the Morea war. Carlo, his brother, who reached the rank of colonel, distinguished himself so much in the same war, in which he reported various honored wounds, that the Venetian senate granted, on May 15, 1703, the title of Count to him and to his brother Cosenzio. The family is registered in the Golden Book of the Italian Nobility and in the Official Italian Noble List of 1933. The presence of the motto in the documented bibliography of the family confirms the ancestral nobility of the family. In fact, the origin of the motto dates back to around the 14th century and must be sought in those witty sayings that were written on the banners or flags of the knights, displayed on the windows of the inns where they stayed, during the tournaments, and during the tournaments themselves . The motto was a thought expressed in a few words, alluding to a clear or hidden feeling, to a quality, to a historical memory, as a stimulus to courage or honor. It was chosen by the head of the family, by the knight entering the race or given by the sovereign to his loyal man. Family motto: Espoir du mieulx present contente.
