Rossi Scotti armorial

The first records of this family date back to 1300. Originally from Monte Petriolo and Cibottola, castles of the countryside of Perugia, it had as its ancestor a Lemme, father of Cecco. Valerio di Cecco transplanted the family to Perugia and obtained his citizenship on 6 April 1408. Bernardino Rossi, following his marriage to Angelica, the only daughter of the Scotti counts of Perugia, inherited the name, the title, the substances and the coat of arms ( 1655) and a Giovan Battista, nephew of the previous, following the marriage with Countess Vittoria Sozi, inherited the ancient fief of Baschi.

The family is registered in the official list of Italian nobility with the titles of counts of Montepetriolo, nobles of Perugia, nobles of the counts of Montepetriolo. In the nineteenth century stand out the figures of the poet Luigi, the writer and scholar Giovanni Battista and the painter Lemmo (Perugia 1848 - Rome 1926)
