Italian branch
inferior branch, the submissivesin short, specifics
The Italian branch is known to be slightly more tolerant towards Muggleborns and Halfbloods, but only out of diplomatic necessity. They will team up with impurer wizards and witches when they deem it beneficial for their businesses. If this is not the case, they will still ignore those of impurer blood like thin air. They also have an influential voice in the Italian equivalent of the Ministry of Magic, and busy themselves mostly with policymaking and legislation.
The dynamics with the British branch are bitter and malevolent, as they are still not over the suspected betrayal of Otho Ricardus and believe that the Familial seat belongs in Italy. They frequently travel to the United Kingdom, as if they want to physically retrieve the power they have lost, but they remain an inferior Ricardus branch till this day.
