Ormanni

The Ormanni were one of the forty families named by Dante in Paradiso 16.88-139 as great in his grandfather Cacciaguida's day, but by his time diminished: "per che non dee parer mirabil cosa / ciò ch'io dirò de li alti Fiorentini / onde è la fama nel tempo nascosa." (‘Then it should not seem strange or marvelous to you / to hear me talk of noble Florentines / whose fame is buried in the depth of time. Hollander trans.)
