The House of Bove is an ancient noble patrician family of Ravello, Maritime Republic of Amalfi that held royal appointments in the Kingdom of Naples, and presided over feudal territories. After the dissolution of noble seats of the Kingdom of Naples in 1800 they were ascribed in the Libro d'Oro of Ravello. The Bove coat of arms is prominently displayed in the Duomo of Ravello.

History

Knights (Cavaliere) of House of Bove traveled north to Germany, where they lead many armed forces with the House of Grisone. Count Carl of Anjou, later titled King Charles I of Naples requested their support against King Conradin of Sicily.

In the 13th century King Charles I of Naples ennobled Sergio Bove of the House of Bove with title and feudal territories in Bitonto. Sergio Bove's title allowed him to administer trade and commerce in his feudal territories.

November 1, 1419 the House of Bove received partial exoneration of taxes from Queen Joan II of Naples, Kingdom of Naples.
