Galluppi

Galluppi is an Italian noble family rather than a documented commercial brand. The family is traditionally associated with Tropea in Calabria and developed several branches, including lines that moved to France in the fourteenth century and to Sicily toward the end of the sixteenth century. Its history is recorded through noble titles, feudal possessions, marriages, civic offices, ecclesiastical influence, and the activities of individual family members. A significant branch formed in Messina through Don Cesare Galluppi, baron of Cirella and Joppolo, who married Giovanna Porzio and was entered into the city's nobility by the senate. His descendants later established themselves in Santa Lucia del Mela. The family held or claimed associations with several Calabrian and Sicilian fiefs, including Cirella, Joppolo, Coccorino, Belvedere, Foresta, and Pancaldo. These holdings changed over time through inheritance, marriage, purchase, confiscation, and succession. The family's political position was not uninterrupted. A nephew of Francesco Galluppi took part in the Messina revolt involving the Merli and Malvizzi and served among the city's commanders during its conflict with Spanish forces. Following the defeat of the movement, the Belvedere fief was confiscated in 1674. In later generations, Galluppi members again occupied prominent political and ecclesiastical positions in Santa Lucia del Mela. Ansaldo Galluppi Patti, born in 1721, received a royal privilege from Charles III dated 15 September 1748 confirming the barony of Cirella, a title connected with the family's earlier possessions. He also purchased the fief of Foresta from the city of Santa Lucia. His son, Baron Vincenzo Galluppi, returned to Tropea in an effort to strengthen a branch of the family that was approaching extinction. Vincenzo married his distant cousin Lucrezia Galluppi in 1765. Their son was Pasquale Galluppi, a prominent philosopher whose reputation extended beyond the family's aristocratic history. The Tropea branch is especially associated with Pasquale Galluppi, who received the Legion of Honour from Louis Philippe of France and recognition from Francis I of Austria. Other members of the family participated in diplomacy, heraldry, genealogy, public administration, and the social networks of Sicilian and Calabrian aristocracy. Another line inherited the title of baron of Pancaldo through its connection with the Raineri family. Don Rainero Galluppi Raineri, born in 1816 and deceased in 1899, served as a senator of Messina from 1858. His son Giuseppe Galluppi became a knight of honor and devotion of the Order of Malta, as well as a heraldist and genealogist. Giuseppe was described as the last of the Galluppi barons of Pancaldo and died without male heirs; later female descendants were associated with the barons Laudamo. The family maintained alliances with prominent Messina families through marriages, including the Cuzzaniti, Pulejo, Celi-Valdina, Sisilli, and Basile families. In the twentieth century, Enrica Galluppi di Cirella married Italian diplomat Ezio Mizzan in 1935 and later remarried Bonifacio, Marquis of Canossa, Count of Canossa, and Lord of Grezzano. The available reference material does not establish Galluppi as an operating company, consumer brand, or current commercial enterprise.

The Galluppi family is identified with Tropea in Calabria and developed multiple branches over several centuries. One branch reportedly settled in France during the fourteenth century, while another moved to Sicily near the end of the sixteenth century. A traditional early alliance was formed in 1340, when Cristoforo Galluppi married Donna Giacoma Ruffo, baroness of Altavilla. The marriage brought him half of the baronial fiefdom of Altavilla as dowry. The Messina branch began with Don Cesare Galluppi, baron of Cirella and Joppolo. After moving to Messina, he married Giovanna Porzio and was admitted to the city's nobility by the senate. His descendants later relocated to Santa Lucia del Mela, where Galluppi family members held influential political and ecclesiastical positions for generations. Francesco Galluppi, the eldest son of Cesare and Giovanna, was baron of Cirella, Joppolo, and Coccorino and possessed additional property in Calabria. He married Isabella Patti in Messina in 1611. She was the daughter and heiress of Ansaldo Patti and brought the feud of Belvedere and the territory of San Girolamo, near Santa Lucia, into the family connection. A later Francesco Galluppi participated in the Messina revolt of the Merli and Malvizzi and served as one of the city's commanders in its struggle against the Spanish. The family's Belvedere possession was confiscated in 1674 as a consequence of this involvement. The family's status in Santa Lucia was subsequently reinforced through titles, property, and marriage alliances. Ansaldo Galluppi Patti, born in 1721, received a privilege from Charles III on 15 September 1748 recognizing the title of baron of Cirella, a fief associated with earlier Galluppi holdings. He also purchased the fief of Foresta from the city of Santa Lucia. His son, Baron Vincenzo Galluppi, sought to revive the Tropea branch, which faced the possibility of extinction. In 1765 Vincenzo married his distant cousin Lucrezia Galluppi. Their son Pasquale became a philosopher of international reputation. Pasquale Galluppi is the best-known intellectual figure connected with the family. He was honored by Louis Philippe of France with the Legion of Honour and by Francis I of Austria. The Tropea branch therefore became associated not only with nobility and landholding but also with philosophy and European intellectual life. A separate Galluppi line inherited the barony of Pancaldo from the Raineri family. Don Rainero Galluppi Raineri lived from 1816 to 1899 and served as a senator of Messina from 1858. His son Giuseppe Galluppi was a knight of honor and devotion of the Order of Malta and published works as a heraldist and genealogist. Giuseppe, described as the last of the Galluppi barons of Pancaldo, died without male issue. Female descendants were later identified with the barons Laudamo. Marriage remained central to the family's social and political network. The Santa Lucia branch formed alliances with the Cuzzaniti, Pulejo, Celi-Valdina, Sisilli, and Basile families. In 1935 Enrica Galluppi di Cirella married Italian diplomat Ezio Mizzan. She later married Bonifacio, Marquis of Canossa, Count of Canossa, and Lord of Grezzano. The reference material does not describe a corporate successor, operating business, or modern commercial brand under the Galluppi name.
