Bassegli

Coat of arms of the Basiljević noble family

The Bassegli or Basilio^[a] was a Ragusan noble family. It originated from Cattaro (Kotor), and seems to have been related to the Drago family, as the founder of all Basilio was Basilius Dragonis (fl. 1266–70).^[1] The Ragusan branch of the family was founded by Basilius de Basilio who was mentioned in a document dated 1314. The family was also involved in sea trade.^[1] Tomo Bassegli (1756–1806), the Englightener,^[2] envisaged a South Slavic country.^[3] After 1808, with the French occupation and division of the Ragusan nobility into two groups, the family joined the Salamancanists, along with the Benessa, Bonda, Buća, Giorgi-Bona, Gradi, Ragnina, Resti and Tudisi, while Gondola, Palmotta, Proculo were Sorbonnists; the rest of Ragusan nobility had branches, more or less, in both groups.^[4]
