Castellini Baldissera
The Castellini Baldissera are a notable family from Milan and Brescia that played a significant role in the unification and industrialization of Italy.
The Castellini Baldissera family's ancestral seats are the 18th-century Villa Grande on Lago Maggiore and the 14th-century Casa degli Atellani in Milan. The family is active in banking, real estate, and textile production in Italy; it is also known for having co-owned the Italian subsidiary of Barclays through their private bank: Castellini & Company.
The Castellini family originated as landowners in the early 18th century, living in the foothills around Milan. Around the mid-19th century, the family began to industrialize. Thanks in large part to Italy's vast territories dedicated to the rearing of sheep, they were able to build several mills that produced fine fabrics and textiles. These became very lucrative. As the country's political system shifted, this business model became very popular amongst the Italian upper classes. At the turn of the 20th century Clateo Castellini used his family's wealth, from textile production, ceramics, logging, and other ventures, to found a private and merchant bank.
The family is also recognized in the Equestrian world for their expertise in racing and breeding English Thoroughbreds.
Both the Castellini and Baldissera families have historical ties to the Royal Italian Army and Imperial Austrian Army; many family members have occupied senior positions in both.
Nicostrato Castellini was a founding father of the Kingdom of Italy. In 1860 he took part in the campaign to liberate southern Italy, with the second expedition of General Giacomo Medici, in support of the Expedition of the Thousand, distinguishing himself for bravery at the capture of Milazzo, in the Battle of the Volturno, and at Caiazzo, where he was promoted to the rank of Major. In 1862 he followed Garibaldi in the Aspromonte Campaign. He founded a charitable institution for Garibaldian veterans.
He is mentioned in a popular song of the Milanese Scapigliatura:
