Nobile Briano Martinoni Caleppio was born at Milan on 30 November 1984. He is the only child of Nobile Paolo Martinoni Caleppio (b.1949) and his first wife Barbara Parodi Delfino (b.1959). Briano has six half-siblings: three from his father Paolo, and three from his mother Barbara.

Count Giberto Arrivabene Valenti Gonzaga, Senator of the Italian Kingdom
Second cousins once removed, Vera and Briano are both descendants of Count Giberto Arrivabene Valenti Gonzaga (1873-1933) and Nobile Clotilde Vera dei Conti Papadopoli Aldobrandini (1883-1946). Through her father, Vera is a great-granddaughter of Giberto and Vera; through his mother, Briano is a great-great-grandson of the couple. Vera and Briano's common ancestor Giberto (like his father before him) served as a member of the Senate of the Italian Kingdom for many years; when he died in August 1933, Prime Minister Benito Mussolini paid tribute to Giberto's contributions to the Italian nation on the floor of the Senate.
