The '''Papafava''' (sometimes also ''Pappafava'', more precisely ''Papafava dei Carraresi'') were an [aristocratic](/source/Aristocracy) family of [Padua](/source/Padua), a junior branch of the [Carraresi](/source/Carraresi). It was admitted into the [Venetian patriciate](/source/Venetian_patriciate) among the so-called ''Houses Made for Money''.
== History ==
The family is a branch of the most famous Carraresi: the first to bear the nickname Papafava was a Giacomino da Carrara, [Viceroy](/source/Viceroy) of [Vicenza](/source/Vicenza) in 1269,[{{Cite journal|date=1835|title=Pompey Litta, Famous Families of Italy. Carraresi of Padua, Turin|journal=Pompey Litta, Famous Families of Italy.}}] who lived in the 13th century.[{{Cite web|url=http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/marsilietto-papafava-da-carrara_(Dizionario-Biografico)/|title=CARRARA, Marsilietto Papafava da in "Dizionario Biografico"|website=www.treccani.it|language=it-IT|access-date=2017-10-21}}][{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=diNLAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA1-PA104|title=Family history directory of noble and titled families|last=Schroeder|first=Franz|date=1830|publisher=Alvisopoli|language=it}}][{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9jY8AAAAcAAJ&pg=PA119|title=Dizionario Storico-Portatile Di Tutte Le Venete Patrizie Famiglie: Cosi di quelle, che rimaser' al serrar del Maggior Consiglio, come di tutte le altere, che a questo furono aggregate ...|date=1780|publisher=Bettinelli|language=it}}] The lord of [Padua](/source/Padua) [Marsilietto Papafava](/source/Marsilietto_Papafava) from [Carrara](/source/Carrara) was part of the Papafava family branch.
The original branch, the one of Papafava dei Carraresi, settled in [Venice](/source/Venice), where as a result of the financial support that its members gave to the Republic in the [War of Candia](/source/Cretan_War_(1645%E2%80%931669)) against the [Ottomans](/source/Ottoman_dynasty), in 1652 they were referred to the Venetian patrician [{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=diNLAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA1-PA104|title=Repertorio genealogico delle famiglie confermate nobili e dei titolati nobili esistenti nelle provincie venete...|last=Schroeder|first=Franz|date=1830|publisher=Alvisopoli|language=it}}]
A secondary branch, but no less important, was that of the Papafava Antonini, resident in [Padua](/source/Padua). Those, members of the noble council of Padua, occupied important municipal offices. They were never united with the Venetian patriciate but gained the comic title connected with the civil and criminal jurisdiction of the villas of Silvella and [Coseano](/source/Coseano), which were invested on September 23, 1745 by Doge [Pietro Grimani](/source/Pietro_Grimani).[{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=diNLAAAAYAAJ&q=nobili+e+conti+dell'impero+austriaco+domiciliati+a+padova+Repertorio+genealogico+delle+famiglie+confermate+nobili+e+dei+titolati+nobili+esistenti+nelle+provincie+venete&pg=RA1-PA105|title=Repertorio genealogico delle famiglie confermate nobili e dei titolati nobili esistenti nelle provincie venete...|last=Schroeder|first=Franz|date=1830|publisher=Alvisopoli|language=it}}]
After the fall of the Serenissima, their nobility was recognized by [Vienna](/source/Vienna) with the Sovereign Resolution of September 4, 1818; the rank of accounts of the Austrian Empire was granted on October 19, 1823.
