Houses in Florence had very decent, joined with the houses of Geri of Messer Bello his consort; ....". further information provided by Baron Ugo Antonio Bella The Villabianca is the right place: a blue field with a silver band accompanied on its head by three stars of the same, and on the tip by three shortened golden bands.

Of this family, of which we find in 1283 a Giovanni among the knights of the city of Piazza, Galluppi says that it was decorated with the barony of Cavachi and enjoyed nobility in Messina in the 15th and 16th centuries but in this city we find a Nicolò stratico judge in 1312 , 1312, and 1347 and a sworn Bernard. According to the Minutoli this is one of the oldest and noblest families of Liguria and Tuscany, coming to Sicily in the 15th century in Girgenti (Agrigento) where a Pietro was Senator, a Gerlando Capitano Giustiziere and a Libertino Magistrato.
