Ancient and noble family originally from Piedmont. The doctor Nicolò Cotti of Asti in 1622 made the purchase of the fief of Scursolengo. Leonardo obtained Ceres in the countryside in 1724. Giuseppe-Ottavio, Avv. General in Turin, then First President of the Chamber of Auditors was invested, for purchase, on February 13, 1722 of the fiefdom of Brusasco with comitical title. Count Alexander was minister in Petersburg where he died. 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: Meliora latent. Right weapon: Red, with golden chestnut urchin with two natural leaves; with the golden head, with the black eagle, it is supported by a line of green. Cimiero: A nascent wild man, holding up a club with his right hand.
