The House of Caracciolo (Italian pronunciation: [kaˈrattʃolo]) is a prominent aristocraticfamily from the city of Naples. The Caracciolo are considered one of the most important families in the history of the Kingdom of Naples, holding relevant posts in the Spanish Empire as well.
The first documented mention of the family date back to the 10th century with the progenitor Teodoro Caracciolo (reported in ancient documents as Theodorus Caracziolus), of which we have only archival information: he was buried together with his wife Urania in the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary, in Naples. He is reported to have died on March 20, 976, the date of a document in which it is learned that in this period his daughter Theodonanda made a donation to the Monastery of Saints Sergius and Bacchus.[2][3][4]
At the time of the Duchy of Naples the family enjoyed nobility during the reign of the Sergian dynasty, benefiting from special privileges granted by Duke Sergius VII. The family then divided into numerous lines, including the so-called ancient lines (Caracciolo Canella, Caracciolo Ugot, Caracciolo Viola and Caracciolo Ciccola), then into the lines of the del Sole, Bianchi, Rossi and Pisquizi. Specifically, the line of the Caracciolo Rossi had as its progenitor Riccardo, son of Landolfo, who lived in the early twelfth century, while that of the Caracciolo Pisquizi Filippo, also son of Landolfo. From the latter the branch of the Caracciolo del Sole and that of the Caracciolo di Pisciotta were born.[3]
Thanks to the great importance of the Caracciolo family, most of the most important events of the Kingdom of Naples had various members of the family as protagonists, sometimes even on opposing fronts.[5]
