FERRARI, Francesco - Donation to his Grandson the Acolyte Vincenzo FERRARI
Archivio di Stato di Castrovillari; Notaio Ferdinando FRASCINO; 1781; f. 14-16 (7 April 1781).
Abstract: Francesco FERRARI donates to his grandson, the Acolyte Vincenzo FERRARI, two plots of land, one with several oak trees in the area |
called il Prato (which very possibly is the same
area called in other documents "il Prato di San Pietro", likely near the ancient Church of San Pietro
in Frascineto), with a built tower and sheepfold; and a vineyard in the area called Il Monte.

MORTATI, Giambattista of Porcile - Last will and testament
Archivio di Stato di Castrovillari, Notaio Ferdinando FRASCINO di
Frascineto, anno 1782, f. 15 recto (12 Jul 1782).
Abstract: The last will and testament of Giambattista MORTATI includes a disposition of part of his property that he assigned to his son Marsio, at the time a student at the Corsini Greek College of San Benedetto Ullano. The earnings from the properties were set aside to "help him in his studies, so that he ascends to the status of a priest by means of divine help." Marsio's patrimony consisted of a parcel planted with olives and other fruit trees, situated in the Feudo of Porcile, and another similar parcel with olive trees in the same area. He particularly states that if that is not enough, "other stuff should be assigned, so that he can ascend to the Ministry, and with the fruits of the same he could live with decorum, as the Ecclesiastical Condition requires, with the condition, however, that following his [Giambattista's] death, the said Patrimony |
shoud go back to [all of]
his heirs, and Don Marsio can dispose of his tangente or lawful portion as he wishes,
with the condition that from the whole paternal inheritance the said beneficiary heiress [his
wife] should have the ability to support him with the earnings, and other things, without
being bothered by the rest of the heirs, but that he may have all that is necessary to
ascend to the Priesthood".
The rest of the will contains dispositions related to his debts and debtors. One interesting wish he expresses is that if his two daughters wish to get married, they receive dowries with dresses in the Italian manner. It may simply mean that his daughters were to be dressed in non traditional clothing, like "city" women, instead of country folk. This is one of the extremely few cases (less than five in nearly one thousand documents) where the women were not to receive dowries "in the Albanian manner." |

MORTATO, Marsio - Agreement with Vincenzo Arciprete FERRARI
Archivio di Stato di Castrovillari, Notaio Ferdinando FRASCINO, anno 1797, f. 26-28 (4 March 1797).
Abstract: After a bitter battle for joint participation in earnings from the tithings that were received from the people of Porcile, D. Vincenzo FERRARI of Frascineto, the Arciprete of Porcile, agreed to share the appropriate portion of the same with D. Marsio MORTATO, a native priest of Porcile. According to this document, the Church of Porcile had always been separate and distinct from the Church of Frascineto, with its own Arciprete being assigned by the Bishop of Cassano. It was also |
ricettizia, that is, a church in which the Arciprete-Parish priest, a native of the village, received
a fixed stipend taken from the common earnings. In addition, the Arciprete and the rest of the assistant
priests shared equal portions of the remaining earnings. Only the Clergy native to the town was permitted
to participate in this arrangement, at the exclusion of "foreigners". In this case, not only was the
Arciprete a "foreigner" from Frascineto, but for four years he had taken all earnings and kept them to
himself, giving nothing to Don Marsio MORTATO, thus excluding him from his own rightful portion.

CILIBERTO, Petronilla - Pardon granted to
Vincenzo MORTATO and to his brother D. Marsio MORTATO of Porcile
Archivio di Stato di Castrovillari; Notaio Ferdinando FRASCINO; 1804; f. 30-31 (25 March 1804).
Abstract: At this time Don Marsio and his brother Vincenzo are embroiled in the deadly aftermath of an altercation between their brother Pasquale and a neighbor of Porcile, Gennaro FAVALE, husband of Petronilla CILIBERTO. According to Petronilla's account, her husband tried to resolve the disagreement by shooting Pasquale once, who after a few hours "went to the majority [died]". According to Don Marsio's last will and testament (yr. 1800), Pasquale was a man "of little talent, and of well known mental deffects", who had a propensity for violence. The MORTATO brothers, Vincenzo and Don Marsio, heard about the incident and rushed to the site |
where the shooting had taken place. They saw Pasquale lying on the ground, dead. In a fit of rage,
Vincenzo MORTATO immediately shot Gennaro FAVALE. The shot knocked him to the ground and killed him instantly. A
moment later, Vincenzo recognized his own guilt and he immediately appeared before the Royal Forces of
the Audience in Cosenza, where he was condemned to prison.
Petronilla, who knew the true course of events, appeared before the Court in Castrovillari, and gave her deposition. She relieved D. Marsio of any possible involvement in the unfortunate incident. She also sincerely forgave the MORTATO brothers, saying that she had not been coherced in any way, but that she was trying to follow the example of Jesus Christ. |

CASTELLANO, Don Pietro - Sale of a
vegetable garden, and basement to the Priest Don Marsio MOTATO of Porcile
Archivio di Stato di Castrovillari; Notaio Ferdinando FRASCINO; 1805; f. 115-117 (14 August 1805).
Abstract: Don Pietro CASTELLANO of Civita owed Don Marsio, "secular priest" of Porcile, 27 ducats. He didn't pay on time, which prompted Don Marsio to take him to court. At this time, to pay his debt, and to cover the cost of court proceedings, Don Pietro relinquishes a "fundaco" or basement, and an "ortale" or vegetable garden, in the house where he and his brother Vincenzo were living. |
According to many of the records of this year and other close years, these were "annate calamitose",
years of calamity, which caused so many to sell sometimes the little they had, to pay their debts. Don Pietro
had several creditors, such as a certain Antonio ROVITTO of Cerchiara (From other documents). From an
order issued from the Court of Cassano, attached to this instrument [legal transaction], we learn that Don
Pietro would have gone to jail if he had not paid this debt.
