The Zaccaria family is an ancient and noble Genoese House that had great importance in the development and consolidation of the Republic of Genoa in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and whose only surviving branch (Zaccaria de Damalà) produced the last ruling dynasty of the Principality of Achaea.
The Zaccaria were characterized by, according to scholarly handwritten documents of the time, having broad intelligence and their effective way of maintaining political power through manipulation.
