The House of Della Torre (Torriani or Thurn) were an Italian noble family of Swiss descent who dominated Lombardy and much of northern Italy between the 12th and 14th centuries. They owned the Lordship of Milan, before being expelled by the Visconti. They were members of the Guelph party.
According to the linealogy of the family, the house would descend from the imperial family of Charlemagne.
Over the centuries, different branches of the family have acquired numerous titles: barons, counts, marquesses and even dukes and princes. Many members of the Society have also been awarded various titles related to orders of knightly.
