Castello Oldofredi, in Iseo.

The Oldofredi were a noble Italian family, related to Pandolfo III Malatesta, originally from Manerbio. In the thirteenth century it drew strength and luck in the area Franciacorta and Lake Iseo, where he also owned a castle in Peschiera Maraglio island of Monte Isola, deriving the title from Ysé o Isei.[1][2]

Coat of arms[edit]

The red lion rampant, silver.

History[edit]

According to Gabriele Rosa in 1426, after the Carmagnola conquered Iseo for the Republic of Venice, local power was given to the City of Iseo, and the banished Oldofredi went to Cesena consoling themselves with the title of Count of Iseo. Nevertheless, in 1497 they hosted Caterina Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus and sister of the mayor of Brescia, in their castle of Peschiera Maraglio.

In 1846 the writer Costanzo Ferrari wrote a historical novel Tiburga Oldofredi - historical scenes of the thirteenth century set in the thirteenth century with protagonists Oldofredi two sisters: Tiburga and Imelda.

During the Risorgimento one of their descendants, Ercole Oldofredi Tadini, participated in the events of the unification of Italy, first in the United Lombardo-Veneto and then in those of Sardinia and of Italy.
