Arco family

Arco is the name of an ancient noble family, originally from Arco, in northern Italy. They were first attested to in 1124 and were recognized as free nobles in 1186. For many centuries, they held the Castle of Arco. In 1413, they became imperial counts. In the 17th century, members of the family moved from Arco to Bavaria, Mantua, Salzburg, and Silesia. The family is still extant, primarily in Bavaria, but the Castle of Arco has belonged to the municipality of Arco since 1982.[1][2]
