Grisogono family is one of the oldest families in Dalmatia and Croatia. For centuries they were active in all pursuits suitable for noblemen of their rank , including the arts of war, ruling and judging their subjects, writing, science, and music. There is no doubt that this family lived in Split for seven centuries, probably even in the same building known today as Grisogono Palace. Another branch of the family lived in Zadar from the twelfth to the nineteenth century. Members of the family have an uninterrupted lineage dating from 1290 both in Zadar and in Split.
