Burgio family papers, 1442-1924. Part 7: folders 61-65, 525-526, 535-537.

Abstract:

Collection of documents concerning numerous members of the Burgio family, their political role in Sicily, their relationships with other aristocratic families in Southern Italy and Spain, as well as with the Spanish crown, which conferred the Burgio numerous privileges over the centuries. The collection covers the years 1442-1924, with the bulk of the documents being 17th- through 19th-century. Most of the items are notarial documents pertaining to the privileges granted to the Burgio family by the Spanish and Italian authorities; legal documents concerning lawsuits of various natures (including a long dispute over the sulfur mines of Racalmuto, also referred to as Recalmuto, in the late 19th century); and documents related to inheritance, dowries, wills, and testaments. The close relationships with other Spanish and Sicilian families, such as the De Vio, Monroy, Naselli, Morso and Rivera are also described in detail through the collection. 6 vellum documents (1470-1780) containing privileges conferred to various members of the Burgio family, as well as a double sheet of the Giornale di Sicilia (1870), the main Sicilian newspaper, with information on the inheritance of Luigi Burgio Naselli, are also housed in the Oversize series.
