Alberti from Enno
The Counts Alberti von Enno, also Alberti di Enno, are an ancient Tyrolean noble family who have had several high religious dignitaries in their history.
history
The family was originally called "Bagnena" and came early to Tridentine, where they acquired Enn Castle. From then on they called themselves "Enn" or "Enno" after the ancestral castle on the Ennsberg in the diocese of Trento . The nickname "Alberti" was only added to the surname as a baptismal name, probably in honor of two bishops of Brixen who were descended from Robert von Enno and who had this first name. In the documents of the Innsbruck and Trento archives, Engelfried and Ezzelin von Enno are mentioned, who lived around 1010, but Oluradin, the son of the latter, is generally assumed to be the progenitor. In addition to the castles of Enno and Coronna, he also owned the town of Runo and in 1190 was a witness to an Emperor Heinrich VI. relevant act mentioned. His sons Robert and Jacob, who had to recognize the fiefdom of the Bishop of Trent, donated two lines. Robert's descendants came to great esteem, from this came in the third member the above-mentioned Albert von Enno († November 2, 1336), who had been Prince-Bishop of Brixen from 1323 to 1336, according to others only until 1328, as well as his nephew Albert II . held this office from 1374 to 1377, but this line died out in the 15th century. Jacob's descendants were numerous and so expanded that in 1424 there were seventeen different branches, several of which differed by their own surnames, but always retained the common first gender name "von Enno". In the 7th member of Jacob came the sons of Bertus: Johann and Nikolaus, who carried the name de Bertis von Enno and from whom Johann continued the family. The descendants of the latter in the fourth member were four brothers who settled in Trient and changed the surname de Bertis to de Alberti. Albert, Canon of Trient and Nikolaus (Niclas) Alberti von Enno, whose son, the Doctor of Rights Gervasius, had sent Emperor Ferdinand I to Rome in 1500 as an envoy to Rome, belonged to these four brothers, who were very respected at the court . They received from the said emperor the confirmation of their old knightly nobility with improvement of the coat of arms on March 9th 1537 in Prague Gervasius, the favorite of the emperor, had three sons, from whom Septrinus of Enno propagated his name, who along with the old feudal estates as the castle St. Magdalena Fiefdom owned by the Teutonic Order . Georg was canon and princely court chancellor of Trento and was appointed count palatine and auditor Rotae Romanae for the German nation by Emperor Rudolph II . The third, Joseph, initially in Portuguese military service, was the father of the learned Jesuit Albert de Albertis, (* 1593), and grandfather of Joseph Victor, the prince-bishop of Trento. The three great-grandchildren of Gervasius II, Joseph Victor, Franz Felix and Franz Sigmund were with their descendants of Emperor Karl VI. on October 12, 1714 in the herbländisch Austrian count status with "high and well-born". Joseph Victor died in 1695 as Prince-Bishop of Trient, Franz Felix (born April 19, 1634 in Trient), the brother of the latter, was with Arcangela noble von Saracini zu Belfort wed and his three sons Gervasius Vigilius Matthäus (* February 25, 1682 in Trient; † 1725 ibid), Franz Sigmund and Joseph Victor left the former, bishop's councilor at Trient, married to Barbara Countess von Bortolazzi, two sons: Franz Felix († 1762,) Prince-Bishop of Trient and Bartolomäus Sigismund (born October 14, 1702 in Trient; † 1780), who had two sons with Therese Countess von Migazzi: Franz Felix, Canon of Trient († 1804), and Gervasius Franz (* August 30, 1734 in Trient; † 1808 ibid), Imperial Chamberlain, married to Johanna Countess von Spaur and Valeur and Pflaum (* November 21, 1744 - December 1, 1771), from whom the current members of the family descend. The head of the family was then Count Christoph Bartholomäus (* November 17, 1764; † 1843), kk chamberlain, married in second marriage to Maxentia Countess von Arz and Wasegg. The son from this marriage, Joseph Maria (born September 4, 1799 in Pergine near Trient, † December 16, 1844), married Aloise Countess von Spaur (April 15, 1804; † September 22, 1862) in 1824. Count Christoph's brothers were Bartholomäus (* 1768), Comtur of the Order of Malta and Franz Felix (* September 25, 1770), first married on January 20, 1793 to Ernestine Edle von Herrmann (* March 4, 1773 - † March 17, 1824 ), then on August 26, 1829, with Katharina Leonardelli († June 5, 1833). Count Josef Alberti di Enno was punished for theft in 1878 with the abolition of the count's status. The Counts Alberti di Enno must not be confused with the gender of the Counts Alberti of Poja or that of the Counts of Pola , who also have different coats of arms.

Above the count's crown is a crowned helmet, which wears an open, black eagle's flight. The right wing is obliquely left, the left obliquely right with the blue bar and gold star. The helmet covers are black and gold on the right, blue and silver on the left. According to other more recent information, the eagle is crowned gold in the 1st and 4th fields and the right wing on the helmet is gold, the left is silver. The illustration given here is taken from Leupold's aristocratic archives, which is probably the best source. The illustration given in the “Beech of Arms of the Serene World” bears some resemblance to the coat of arms of Count Alberti von Poja.
