Trinci
The Trinci family were a noble family from central Italy, who were lords of Foligno, in Umbria, from 1305 to 1439.
History
During the
War of the Guelphs and Ghibellines
which tore apart Italy from the 12th to the 14th century, the Trinci were initially Guelphs, but switched to the other party from 1240. Corrado (I) and Trincia I Trinci held the title of podestà or vicar of Foligno in the late 13th century.
In 1305 the Trinci, after returning to the Guelphs, became lords of Foligno by expelling the Ghibelline Anastasi thanks to the support of nobles from Spoleto and Perugia. Nallo governed as capitano del popolo until 1321. After him, the Trinci held the titles of gonfaloniere di giustizia and capitani.
