Trivulzio

The family reached its apogee in the second half of the fifteenth century, at the time of the Sforza, who favored its rise, only to be betrayed by the same Trivulzio, who passed to the service of the Kings of France.

In 1277 the Archbishop Ottone Visconti mentioned the family among the 200 of the Milanese aristocracy whose members were authorized to be created canons of the Milan cathedral .

In any case, the family entered Milanese politics only starting from the 15th century with various prominent personalities both in the military and in the administrative sphere.

His son, Antonio, embarked on a military career in the service of Duke Filippo Maria Visconti and took part as a leader in the war against the Republic of Venice, being appointed ducal commissioner in Crema from 1441 to 1442, passing to the stronghold of Ancona under the government of Francesco I Sforza, not before passing after the death of Duke Visconti among the promoters of the Golden Ambrosian Republic.

The historic buildings attributable to the Trivulzio family are numerous, important and spread over a large territorial space.
