Frangipani family

Arms of Frangipani, from a manuscript circa 1700, now in the Biblioteca Estense in Modena

The Frangipani family was a powerful Roman patrician clan in the Middle Ages. The family was firmly Guelph in sympathy.[1] The name has many spellings, which include Frangipane, Freiapane, Fricapane and Fresapane.[1] In his Trattatello in laude di Dante, Boccaccio traces the descent of Dante from the family.[1]
