A family story
The name PAPI has its roots in an old story of families, bonds, estates and generations that, for centuries, called Assisi and its countryside home.
Among them, the Fiumi family was one of Assisi’s ancient noble houses. From 1462 to 1797 the Fiumi, and later the Fiumi-Roncalli, were tied to the County of Sterpeto, a small papal fief in the hills between Assisi and Pianello. For generations the family held substantial lands and properties in the area.
The story of the Sermattei later became intertwined with that of the ancient Counts della Genga, a family from the Marche region, whose house produced Annibale della Genga, elected Pope in 1823 as Leo XII.
It was the marriage of Filippo della Genga, Annibale’s brother, to Marianna Sermattei, the last of that noble Assisi family, that forged one of the key bonds between the two houses. This union also gave rise to Cardinal Gabriele della Genga Sermattei, an important figure in the nineteenth-century Church.
A few years later, through the marriage of Ulderico Fiumi to Marianna della Genga Sermattei, niece of Leo XII, the family estate and the traditions of the different houses came together in the Fiumi Sermattei della Genga line. This is the Assisi family to which the memory of the name PAPI is tied today.
PAPI was born from this long history.
A name that keeps its bond with the past, but today takes on a new form: a contemporary, open and welcoming place to meet, enjoy a good coffee, share a lunch, taste our pastries, choose a wine, or simply pause and savor a moment in the heart of Assisi.
PAPI is memory, family and land.
An old story that lives on in the present.
