The founder was Marin de Prodanello ( 1273-1304), also called Bauxellus; his descendants, apart from "Prodanello", used Bausella as a surname. Another branch of the family, led by Ursacius Prodanelli (fl. 1253–85) (most likely Marin's brother), did not use the Bausella name. Ursacius' sons were distinguished Ragusan officials: Petrus (fl. 1280–1311) was senator and judge, while Johannes (fl. 1283–97) was canon and notary. They were among the eleven smallest houses in the 15th century.
