Naples from 1294 to 1299, expires after two generations, that of Lorenzo continues
uninterrupted to the present days. By these two illustrious Caputo generates the
whole Caputo noble family of Naples.
The term derives from the Latin word potestas, meaning power. This development of a term
meaning "Power" or "Authority" to be eventually the title of the person holding such power is
parallel to the development of the Islamic term "Sultan".
