Ruggero di Castracane degli Antelminelli

Ruggero di Castracane was a member of the Lucchese Castracani family and the great-grandfather of Castruccio Castracani. His house appears in Lucca documents from the early thirteenth century as money changers living near San Martino cathedral.

From 1255 they participated in the city's iron and silver mining, and shortly after mid-century his sons Castracane and Lutterio inherited a fortune that included rural property.
