From the Counts of Buscareto, we have inherited a deep bond with the land—a connection that has remained alive and has been passed down through generations. We have chosen to honor this legacy by meticulously reconstructing every detail, every intrigue, and every heroic deed of the Counts of Buscareto, weaving together a tale of glory and courage.
To preserve their memory, we entrusted Virginio Villani, a renowned historian and scholar of our region, with the task of rebuilding the history of the Counts—from their rise to their fall—so that they will never be forgotten.
Between two rivers stretch the rolling hills of the Marche region, once the stage for the exploits of the Buscareto family, who dominated the province of Ancona for three centuries, from the 13th to the 15th century.
Their story is steeped in conflict, bloodshed, betrayals, and shifting alliances—a relentless struggle for political and social power, bringing them into repeated clashes with the Papal Government.
In this book, Villani reconstructs the complex history of the Buscareto family, paying tribute to a lineage that shaped the fate of the Marche region.
