Orlando Castracani

Orlando Castracani was a son of the Lucchese condottiero Arrigo Castracani (1304–1357), eldest son and heir of Duke Castruccio Castracani, and of Costanza de' Rossi, whom Arrigo married at Parma in 1334. He grew up in exile while his father fought for Venice, the Scaligeri and the Visconti.

Bolognese records give him four sons: Castruccio, Enrico, Francesco and Rolando. His son Francesco, called Fibbia, fled to Bologna early in the fifteenth century, took service with the Bentivoglio as a commander, and gave his descendants the name Fibbia.
