history
The origins of the family are controversial, so their noble origins from the Kingdom of Hungary, from which they immigrated in the 8th century, as well as a descent from the old Venetian family Caloprini or the origin from Torcello in the bay of Venice.
The first written mention of the family comes from the 11th and 12th centuries, when it distinguished itself in the Crusades and later traded with the Orient. After the Great Serrata , the council closure of 1297, the family was no longer represented in the Venetian council until it distinguished itself in 1310 against the conspiracy of Baiamonte Tiepolo . The Priuli were later known for their wealth and business acumen; the family's bank existed in the 15th and 16th centuries, but went down again in a crisis.
The family split into numerous branches (including Cannaregio , San Polo ( Grassi and Gran Can ), San Felice ( Scarponi ), San Stae ( Bruolonghi ), San Samuele , San Giovanni Nuovo , San Pantaleone ), of which today only those The San Polo line exists, as well as the Priuli-Bon line , whose double name comes from a marriage.
