Galluppi

[1][2] Don Cesare Galluppi, baron of Cirella and Joppolo, descendant of Cristoforo, who lived at the end of the sixteenth century, moved to Messina, where he married Giovanna Porzio, being ascribed by the senate to the nobility of that city.

[5] He had married in 1611 in Messina with Isabella Patti, only daughter of Ansaldo, heiress of the feud of Belvedere and of the territory of San Girolamo,[6] located near the city of Santa Lucia.

His nephew Francesco Galluppi participated in the revolution of the Merli and Malvizzi and was one of the commanders of the city of Messina against the Spaniards; for this reason he suffered the confiscation of the feud of Belvedere in 1674.

Baron Don Vincenzo Galluppi, son of Ansaldo, returned to Tropea to revive in that city the other branch of the family, which was in danger of extinction.

[11] The Galluppi branch established in Santa Lucia allied itself, through a careful matrimonial policy, with the most prominent families of Messina.
