Buzzi (Busi) of Rome and Velletri Research

All Corrections/Additions are Welcome



The titles of Buzzi and Ranieri were of Italian creation, still in research in origins. Though the daughter of Count Ciaracio Buzzi KM and Countess Maria Ranieri of Velletri marriage to Pietro Paolo Testaferrata Abela, the 5th Baron di Gomerino (See Gomerino) acquired the Maltese descendants, Her descendants are many.

The houses of Buzzi and Ranieri seen to be both extinct, and presently is claimed by a descendant of the 5th Baron di Gomerino and Countess Teresa Buzzi-Rainier as the deJure Count.

From research the ancestors are very much connected to the Italian and Papacy Princely families and much of the Medieval Royalty in Italy and Europe.

The house of Buzzi comes from Rome and was associated to the Knights of the Order of St John.

The Rainieri Family were Marquis's di Sorbello and Counts di Montegualandro and Civitella Ranieri, Patricans of Perugia and Nobles of Velletri. This family can claim descendants to 1395 with Ruggero Can Ranieri and the present family use the surname of Ranieri Bourbon del Monte

You will see below such evidence of the Busi (Buzzi) family history. I shall provide two genealogical trees. One shall be of the Maltese descendants and the other of the Italian descendants.

Note: Familiglia decurionale di Casalmaggiore, presso il Governo della Lombardis Austriaca. Questa casata e? iscritta nell?Elenco Ufficiale col titolo di ?CONTE? con transmissione primogeniale e coltrattamento di Don e di Donna in 1875.

With the above statement in mind, the Maltese branch could succeed with the primogeniture line of CONTE BUSI (BUZZI) and each member style with the honour on ?Don? and ?Donna? respectfully. No mention of the title in the Libro d?Oro della Nobilta Italiana 2000-04, so we can assume that the title is dormant or extinct.

Assumptions according to the 1926 LAW stating to male descendants of the assumed heirs. Note these mentioned could by right succeed to the title of Buzzi (Busi).
