Pepoli

The House of Pepoli is a prominent aristocratic and banking family in Bologna, Italy. The family reached its apogee in the first half of the 14th century, when they were lords of Bologna, who took power in the chaotic commune riven by the struggles between Guelfs and Ghibellines. Their seat in the city was Palazzo Pepoli Vecchio, constructed by Taddeo Pepoli. The Pepoli maintained dynastic alliances through well-considered marriages: Obizzo III d'Este, Marquis of Ferrara, married Jacopa Pepoli in 1317 and the condottiero Roberto Alidosi, papal vicar and lord of Imola, was given Giacoma Pepoli.
