Binciola

The House of Binciola or Binčulić was one of the patrician families of Dubrovnik and the Republic of Ragusa, active between the 12th and 17th centuries.

[1] Their original name, in Italian, was Binciola, which was also spelled Binçola, Binzola, Biniciola, Bensiola and Buccignola.

[2] In modern Croatian, it has been transcribed as Binčola, and Slavicized into Binčulić.

[3] They hailed from Cavtat in modern-day Croatia, then known as Epidaurum.

[6] Serafim Radi enumerated the noble families that lived in Ragusa in 1588, including the Binciolla.
