history

In Italy

The first documented Spreti was Arardo Spreti around 1130 . The family had bishops, scholars, and military officials in their ranks. Palazzo Spreti , built by Carlo Fontana in 1415 in the center of Ravenna , was sold in 2008.

In Bavaria

Urbano VII von Spreti (* 1609 in Ravenna), served as an officer in the cavalry regiment of Colonel Aldobrandini, took part in the Battle of Nördlingen in 1634 and died in Munich without heirs .

Jerome of Spreti (1695–1772)

Giovanni Gitolamo von Spreti (* 1654 in Ravenna, † 1694 ibid) was educated in the Munich pagerie, was a Bavarian and French officer, returned to Ravenna around 1691 and died without offspring.

The first permanent resident name bearer in Bavaria and founder of the local family line was Hieronymus von Spreti (1695–1772) from Ravenna. He came to the Bavarian court as a page in 1703 , and in 1711 the Italian title of count was recognized in Bavaria. Later he advanced to the electoral chamberlain , chief kitchen master and field marshal lieutenant . In 1723 Spreti married the lady-in-waiting Maria Caroline Charlotte von Ingenheim (1704–1749). This happened with the express consent of Prince Elector (later Elector and Emperor) Karl Albrecht of Bavaria , who had two children with her as his lover. One of them was Franz Ludwig von Holnstein (1723-1780), founder of the noble house of the Counts of Holnstein from Bavaria , who became Spreti's stepson. Hieronymus von Spreti and Maria Caroline Charlotte von Ingenheim had 14 children in 26 years of marriage.

From 1780 to 2004, Kapfing Castle in the municipality of Vilsheim in the Landshut district was family-owned. The Palais Spreti was built in Munich around 1730 .
