BOSSI DI BRUZELLA

This ist the Genealogie-Project „Bossi di Bruzella“ by Hermann E. Bossi Even the main theme is based on the Bossi family of Bruzella also other Bossi branches and generally genealogical themes are of interest. The Bossi of Bruzella and the neighbor village Monte are mentioned a first time  in 1420 in a Naturalization-Document of the city of Como. So the first mention of Bossi shows to a time of 1350 in Bruzella and Monte, when the fathers of the naturalized was born. However it is very speculative when the Bossi arrived in Bruzella. The first mention of the location Bruzella was a heritage document of the year 852 AD, but it‘s not clear if „Brusella“ was a village or just a location at this time. In different fragments of his „Storia di Italia“ Baccharino di Orcha mentions that the Bossi arrived in Como in the year 773 AD, when Charlemagne conquered the land. Another fragments mentions the Bossi arrived in Milan (Mediolanum) in 134 AD. In Rome a stone monument contains the first mention of a Bossi, Publius Clodius Bossus Libertus, a former slave of Pulcher. The monument dates about 25 BCE. According to my genetic Y-DNA-Analysis the Bossi are of celtic origin and came to Italy between the 5th and 4th century.
