A descent group of Castel d’Asso and Tuscania in the territory of Tarquinia, as well as Bomarzo and Ferento near Acquarossa. The family can be traced back to the seventh century BC from an inscription of possession on a small impasto amphora at Ferento and then prominently in tombs of the first century BC. The family played an important part in Roman administration and thus the processes of Romanization.
