Genealogy: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cousin/html/d0007/g0000745.html#I1 6147 son of Stefano Visconti d. 1327. From http://www.encyclopedia.com/articles/13524.html "Visconti Pronounced As: vskônt , Italian family that ruled Milan from the 13th cent. until 1447. In the 12th cent. members of the family received the title of viscount, from which the name is derived. Ottone Visconti, 1207-95, archbishop of Milan, was recognized (1277) as lord of the city after he had defeated the opposition of the Della Torre family, established leaders of the popular party. To keep the lordship in the family, he had Matteo I Visconti, 1255-1322, elected captain of the people in 1287. Exiled (1302-10) by the Della Torre faction, Matteo returned with the help of Holy Roman Emperor Henry VII and became imperial vicar. He established his overlordship in all Lombard cities, but Guelph opposition (see Guelphs and Ghibellines) obliged him to retire (1322) in favor of his son, Galeazzo I Visconti, 1277?-1328, who continued the struggle against popes and Guelphs. Galeazzo's son Azzone Visconti, 1302-39, consolidated the state, made peace with the pope, and increased the Milanese territories. At his death his two uncles, Lucchino and Giovanni, were proclaimed dukes.

Lucchino Visconti, 1292-1349, who in fact ruled alone, continued his predecessor's conquests, acquiring territory in Piedmont, Tuscany, and the present Ticino canton of Switzerland. The expansion of Milan aroused the other Italian states, and coalitions were repeatedly formed against Lucchino and his successors. Lucchino's brother, Giovanni Visconti, 1290-1354, took over the government in 1349. At his death the Milanese possessions were divided among his three nephews, Matteo II, Galeazzo II, and Bernabò.

Matteo II Visconti, 1319-55, was probably poisoned by his brothers, who divided his possessions. Galeazzo II Visconti, 1320-78, an able diplomat, began the transformation of his various communal lordships into an organized state. He was a patron of the arts and letters and a friend of Petrarch. At Pavia, where he held his court, he built the castle and founded the university and the library. Bernabò Visconti, 1323-85, ruled in Milan. His intrigues and territorial ambitions kept him at war with the pope, Florence, Venice, and Savoy. He died in prison, arrested by his nephew, Gian Galeazzo Visconti, 1351?-1402, the son of Galeazzo II.

Left the sole ruler of all Visconti possessions, Gian Galeazzo embarked on a systematic program of conquest, first in Venetia, then in central Italy. He withstood hostile coalitions partly by skillful diplomacy, partly by employing the best condottieri of his time. He bought (1395) his investiture as hereditary duke of Milan from Holy Roman Emperor Wenceslaus and defeated (1401) Holy Roman Emperor Rupert when Rupert sought to restore imperial rule over Italy. Gian Galeazzo's ambition was to establish an Italian kingdom, but he died of the plague while preparing a final attack on Florence, his chief enemy.

Gian Galeazzo reformed and centralized the government and promoted the arts and industries. During his reign the cathedral of Milan and the Certosa di Pavia were begun. He allied his family with the ruling house of France by marrying Isabella, daughter of John II. His daughter by a second marriage, Valentina, married Louis d'Orléans; it was through her that Louis XII and Francis I of France derived their claim to Milan in the Italian Wars.

During the regency of Gian Galeazzo's widow for her son, Giovanni Maria Visconti, 1389-1412, many cities were lost and political chaos prevailed. On reaching his majority Giovanni Maria revealed himself a dissolute and cruel ruler. He was assassinated, and the duchy passed to his brother, Filippo Maria Visconti, 1392-1447, who employed both diplomacy and force to restore the duchy. In his wars with Venice and Florence he was at first aided, then opposed, by the condottierri Carmagnola. His daughter and sole heir, Bianca Maria, married Francesco I Sforza, who became duke of Milan after the fall of the short-lived Ambrosian Republic (1447-50), set up after Filippo Maria's death."

History: http://www.uehha.org/it/Lombardia/visconti_en.htm
The Visconti di San Vito Castle, whose very old origins go back to the 9th-century, and which was referred to for the first time in the acts of Notary Public Marcellinus Angelleria in 1251, consisted of nothing more than a defense castle with soldiers around it, like many other castles of the area, to defend the city of Milan. After the brothers Francesco and Guido Visconti, arrived at Somma, having been transferred their after the events of the Repubblica Ambrosiana (1448), the castle started to change form being enlarged and surrounded by moat. Today the castle is a huge quadrilateral whose walls include three castles with three courtyards and three independent entrances.
Period of construction:
XIII - XVI century.

radionostalgia.net/svm/signorie.html The first name of the Visconti is that one of Uberto. Uberto Visconti died in 1248. The Obizzo son divenne Consul of Justice and the other son, Brass, Archbishop in 1262. During the fights with the Torriani, Brass had to leave the city. Its exile lasted fifteen years, until when it did not contribute to the definitive defeat of the adversaries in 1277, to Desio. It re-entered to Milan, applauded from the population raised from the end of along period of war.

Brass was dedicated therefore to its apostolate, abdicating and indicating in its successor the Matteo grandson. These schierò with the people, gaining itself one scomunica papal, in 1321. Matteo died the year after. Happened the Galeazzo son. But he will be the son of Galeazzo, Azzone, to giving to a definitive order to the reign, composing the inner dissidie.

Assured the inner peace, the Visconti begins an expansion that will carry them to govern the most powerful Lordship of the time. The Lordships of Novara, Como become a member of in fact, Bergamo, Pavia, Piacenza, Alexandria, Vercelli and Cremona.

Azzone to scompare in 1339, leaving the uncles Luchino and Giovanni a dazzling Ducato.

Luchino acquires the territories of Bellinzona, Locarno and Asti, riconcilia with the old enemies, receives them in the cities (eccezion made for the Torriani). The Pope it revoca the scomunica of 1321. To the dead women of the brother Giovanni, Archbishop of Milan, continuous Luchino the expansion acquiring Genoa and Bologna. To the dead women of Luchino he more follows the tormented period of the Viscontea Family. The territory comes divided between Second Matteo, Second Galeazzo and Barnabò. This last got rid of Matteo and to lands and dominions were divided.

They followed many vicissitudini, that they carried Gian Galeazzo, son of Second Galeazzo, to get hold of the empire. Gian Galeazzo continued expansion politics, reaching until the Veneto, defeating the Scaligeri, resuming Bologna and occupying Pisa and Perugia. Venceslao it reconfirmed Vicario. Gian Galeazzo divenne Duca.

It was the apex of the viscontea parabola. The son of Gian Galeazzo, Giovanni Maria, lost in short many territories. The battle of Maclodio, in 1427, against the Republic Veneta, inferse a blow mortal them.

It was the condottiero Francisco Strains to risollevare the fates of the Visconti and giving life to the not less glorious sforzesca age.

All these vicissitudes of the viscontea and sforzesca Age interest directly or indirectly the vicissitudes of the sanvittorese territory. The history of puts into effect them sanvittorese nucleus can be reconstructed thanks to the catastali actions of the Lampugnani Family. Some vague citations exist that go back to some previous century. The more illustrious exponent of the Lampugnani Family, from centuries to the ribalta of the from Milan life, was without Umbertino doubt, reader of canonical right to the University of Pavia from 1372 to 1381. Gian Galeazzo Visconti called it to collaborate to its government and the importance of Umbertino continued to grow, as grew the force of Gian Galeazzo, than in 1395 it obtained the title it of Duca of Milan. Umbertino divenne General Master of the entrances and ducale Councilman.

In those years the Lampugnani had begun to acquire assets in the zone of the Legnanese. Property situated between Legnano and Rescaldina had acquired one.

The son of Umbertino, Oldrado, came person in charge from the Duca Filippo Visconti Maria, succeduto to the father, to take care themselves of those territories and to maintain the calm in that zone. The 7 you open them 1425 Oldrado came sended to Venice for important negotiations. The ambassador engagements did not prevent it to continue to increase the property in the territory of Legnano. The more important purchase, Oldrado made it 8 October 1426 from consorti the Jigs. It was be a matter of goes plots of ground to you of land around the Castle and some casolari, at the price of Imperial Liras 8706, for a total of 875 perches. These plots of ground came increase thanks to the wedding of the brother of Oldrado, Maffiolo, with Giovanna Jigs. Then the Saint Castle George was little more than one residence than campaign. Oldrado, in 1445, obtained from the Duca Filippo Maria to make of one species of fortification. Until that moment the castle summery dwelling, a place of meeting had been one for struck of hunting in the surrounding forests.

The first document that cites Saint Vittore Olona sees just Oldrado as purchaser.
And it says: " Year 1425. Peter from Lampugnano, ab. to Legnano sells to the Nob. Oldrado de Lampugnano situated assets in Legnano ET S. Vittore and water rights for fiorini 1709. Prati items petia one jacentis ibi probe in territory dist loci Sancto Victori "
