A family that, according to Luzzatto, derives its name from the city of Almansa in Murcia, Spain. The earliest member of the family of whom there is any knowledge is Abraham Joseph Almanzi, grandfather of Joseph Almanzi. Abraham's son, Baruch Ḥayyim Almanzi, born in Scandiano, near Modena, Italy, was brought to Padua when quite young by Jacob of Triest. Baruch entered Jacob's business, living with him and his son Moses. He married Allegra (Simḥah) Consigli of Rovigo; and six children were the issue of the union. Baruch died May 12, 1837, and his wife, Feb. 2, 1857.

The following is a sketch pedigree of the Almanzi family:
