Benessa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Benessa (in Latin and Italian, known as Beneša or Benešić in Croatian) were a noble family of the Republic of Ragusa. Notable members include:

  • Damiano Benessa (Damianus Benessa or Damjan Beneša; 1477–1539), Humanist[1]
  • Pietro Benessa (Petrus or Petar Benessa)
  • Andreas Benessa (or Andrija Beneša; fl. 1295–1301), notary[2]

In the beginning of the 15th century Ragusan nobility were present in Novo Brdo in the Serbian Despotate as merchants or mining lords; Benessa were also present.[3]
