History

The first documented history dates back to 973.[1]

The early surname of this noble Bergamo family was “de Preposulo”. It has remained until now in the coat of arms of the Counts Passi di Preposulo in abbreviated form, and was in use, especially in Latin, until the eighteenth century.

They began to be called "Passi" when, in 1307, Ottopasso de Preposulo helped negotiate the peace between the Guelphs and Ghibellines in Bergamo. Since then they have been called "quelli de la pas" from which “I Pas” and then “the Passi”.

The first mention dates back to a Henricus de Preposulo, filius quondam Petri Federici, Sacri Palatii judicis (Archive of the Cathedral of Bergamo).

They distinguished themselves as magistrates, in arms, in letters and, in particular, in the ecclesiastical field. The family was admitted in 1743 to the Council of the Nobility of Bergamo and acquired the comital title.[2]

The family acquired Tiepolo in Carbonera, Veneto in the first half of the eighteenth century.[3]

Villa Tiepolo Passi

One of the properties owned is the Villa Tiepolo Passi in Carbonera, Veneto.[1] Here the Hollywood actress Jessica Chastain married Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo in June 2017.[4]
