Titles

The Durazzo were a noble Italian family heralding from the city of Durrës in Albania. Despite being from Albania, the family was of French origin, descended from the Capetian House of Anjou-Sicily.[1][2]

The Durazzo family assisted the Republic of Genoa on the development of many cities. Nine doges of Genoa were of this family.

Still existing, the representatives of this family live in Genoa, the Principality of Monaco and Rome.
