history

The first documentary mention was made in 1247 on the occasion of a basic exchange at the court of Milan with Pius Domenico Floreano Lombardoni del Calice from Casale . The handed down family history describes the change of the main name to del Calice ("from the chalice") with the proximity of Andrea Fillipo Lombardoni del Calice to the movement of the Waldensians and his function there. During this time, around 1300, which is laity (the blood of Christ) to the crest on the family coat of arms.

From Chieri (description of residence from 1299) Galdino del Calice and his descendants moved to Dierico in 1389, acquired land in Tolmezzo (Friuli) and Paularo , and received the mining privilege of marble mining in 1401 in the course of an ennoblement by the Patriarch of Aquilea , Antonio II Panciera the Carnic Alps north of Ligosullo . As a merchant family in the city senate of Tolmezzo represented by Leonardo (1471), Giacomo Illario (1528) and Floreano (1574), the office of Gastalden is occupied several times by Floreano (1589), Giovanni (1682) and Giovanni Domenico (1728). The family donated the church di San Pietro in Tolmezzo in 1688, the parish church of Santa Maria in 1704 and built several palazzi in Paularo, such as the Palazzo Calice Fabiano in 1494, the Palazzo Calice Screm in 1591 and the Palazzo Calice in Villafuori near Paularo in 1660. The latter was continuously expanded and is now one of the most impressive and extensive palaces in Carnia. Valesio Raimondo Calice sold it to the municipality of Paularo in 2012.

In 1672 Tomaso del Calice was raised to the status of hereditary baron of the Holy Roman Empire as part of the defense against the Turks . For political reasons and the changed balance of power in Venice, the family had to give up large parts of the possessions in Paularo in 1789. The younger branch stays in Paularo, the older one with Giovanni Nepomuceno moves to Gorizia . Through marriage, the important estate in Farra d'Isonzo came into the possession of the family, which was the economic basis for Heinrich Joseph Aloys' diplomatic career (see below). The same achieved the confirmation of the Austrian baron status in 1872 and the elevation to the count status in 1906 . The Palazzo Strassoldo-Peteani-Calice in Farra has belonged to the municipal administration since 1908.
