Saverio Nostrini (22 March 1783 – 18 September 1856) was an Italian estate manager from the Nostrini family, the early form of the Noord family. He served as capo del ramo calabrese and led the Calabrian opposition to Vittorio Nostrini during the Convocazione Settentrionale della Famiglia Nostrini in April 1811.[1]
Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Saverio Nostrini was born on 22 March 1783 in Cosenza, in Calabria Citra, then part of the Kingdom of Naples. He belonged to the Calabrian branch of the Nostrini family, which kept the older family seat at Casa Nostrini.
Nostrini began private instruction in Cosenza on 14 October 1790. On 6 November 1796, he entered the Seminario arcivescovile di Cosenza as an external lay pupil. He left the seminary on 2 July 1800 and began training in estate accounts under the Cosenza household office on 8 January 1801.
Career
[edit | edit source]Nostrini entered the Casa Nostrini accounts office on 8 January 1801. His early work dealt with land papers, rent balances, and correspondence between the Calabrian branch and the northern branch at Aversa.
On 17 August 1808, Nostrini became capo del ramo calabrese. His authority covered the southern estate papers that remained at Cosenza. After Domenico Nostrini died on 18 November 1810, Nostrini rejected the transfer of senior family authority to Aversa and opposed Vittorio Nostrini's claim to the position of capofamiglia.[2]
On 17 January 1811, Nostrini delivered the first written objections to the relocation plan. He accused Vittorio of weakening the Calabrian branch by moving the archive and senior authority away from Cosenza.[3]
Nostrini travelled to Aversa on 21 April 1811. The convocation opened at the Casa di San Michele on 23 April 1811. He objected during the opening sitting and demanded that the Calabrian branch retain authority over the older southern estates.[4]
The final vote was held on 28 April 1811. Vittorio's party won after Raffaele Nostrini supported the relocation settlement. Saverio Nostrini accepted the result after the agreement preserved local agents for the remaining Calabrian property. The final act was signed on 30 April 1811.[5]
The settlement did not dissolve the Calabrian branch. Nostrini remained capo del ramo calabrese and continued to manage the selected southern properties under the terms of the act.[6]
After the convocation, most moving branches began using the surname Norte in northern records between 1812 and 1819. Nostrini kept the older surname in the Calabrian branch, where it remained tied to the family's southern origin.[7]
On 2 May 1848, Nostrini transferred the active Calabrian branch papers to his eldest son, Pietro Nostrini. He retained authority over older inheritance copies until his death.
Personal life
[edit | edit source]Nostrini married Giulia Marchese at Cosenza Cathedral on 19 April 1807. Their first child, Pietro Nostrini, was born on 11 February 1809 and later inherited the Calabrian branch papers. Their second child, Maria Carmela Nostrini, was born on 3 October 1812 and married Cosenza tax clerk Antonio Greco on 28 June 1834. Their third child, Tommaso Nostrini, was born on 26 January 1818 and entered the Calabrian household office as a copy clerk on 4 May 1836.
Giulia Marchese died in Cosenza on 12 December 1844. Nostrini did not remarry. Family measurements recorded his height as 1.82 m.
Death
[edit | edit source]Saverio Nostrini died on 18 September 1856 at Casa Nostrini in Cosenza, Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. He was 73 years old.
