Template:Dubrovnik Noble House The House of Bucchia[1][2][3] (in the sources in various forms, including Buchia, Buche, Buchi, Buchie, de Bucha, de Buchia, de Bucho, de Buça, Boce o Buca; later in Croatian Buča, Bučić or Bućin)[4] was one of the most important noble families of Kotor.
A branch of Bucchia was admitted to the nobility of the Republic of Ragusa, another branch moved instead to Šibenik.

History

The Bucchia family were among the wealthiest and most powerful of Kotor. Founded later with the House of Drago, it gave rise to one of the most important families in the region: the House of Drago-Bucchia.

The family name seems to derive from the medieval name Buchius or Bucchius reported both in Dalmatia and earlier in various Italian locations. The first Bucchia to be in the archives is a Jacobus Boce present in Kotor in 1186.

A branch of the House of Bucchia moved in 1449 to Sibenik, while another branch had already moved in the 14th century to Ragusa. The latter, between 1440 and 1640 counted 30 members of the Great Council, representing 1.36% of total.[5] In these two hundred years, they also got 27 senatorial positions (1.36%), five Rettori della Repubblica (0.21%), five members of the Minor Council (0.23%), but were never Guards Justice.[6]

Kotoran branch became extinct in the 17th century, the Dubrovnik in the 19th century, but it seems that the branch from Sibenik still survives in Italy
