The House of Lucchese-Palli (also Lucchesi Palli or Lucchese) is a Sicilian princely family, likely of Lucchese origin.
History.
There is certain news of them starting from the 15th century. They boast as legendary founder Adinolfo, son of a sister of Desiderio, who took his surname from his own castle called Tre Palli, whose descendants governed Lucca. The Sicilian founder would have been an Andrea Palli who passed to Sicily in 1067 or 1069, also taking the surname Lucchese to remember his homeland. Some Lucchese lived in Sciacca, Naro and Palermo; a Luigi Antonio was created by Frederick II, Duke of Swabia; a Giacomo, Baron of Camastra, was senator of Palermo for several years; a Giuseppe was a juror of Naro. Giovanni, Prince of Campofranco, was praetor of Palermo. A Saverio was a juror of Licata.
Overall, the family owned a principality, that of Campofranco, acquired by Fabrizio in 1625, four duchies, three marquisates, a county and over eighteen fiefs. The Kingdom of Italy recognized the titles of count, Prince of Campofranco and Duke of Grazia.
