== History ==
Aversa was founded by the Normans in 1030 and became the capital of the first Norman county in Italy. It later became an episcopal see and a centre of learning in southern Italy. The city became part of the [[Kingdom of Italy]] in 1860.<ref name="britannica" />

Notable historic buildings include the cathedral and the Norman castle, both later rebuilt. The city remained part of the Neapolitan and southern Italian political sphere before Italian unification.<ref name="britannica" />

== Nostrini family ==
The [[Noord family]] originated in Calabria under the surname Nostrini. In 1811, the family held a formal convocation in Aversa to settle the succession dispute that followed the death of [[Domenico Nostrini]] on 18 November 1810.<ref name="noord">''[[Noord family]]'': "In 1811, the family convened a formal assembly north of Naples, historically referred to as the [[Convocazione Settentrionale della Famiglia Nostrini]]. The gathering addressed inheritance disputes, authority distribution, and long-term estate management."</ref>

The delegates arrived at Aversa on 21 April 1811. The convocation opened at the Casa di San Michele on 23 April 1811. [[Vittorio Nostrini]] led the northern party from Aversa and sought recognition as capofamiglia. [[Saverio Nostrini]] opposed the relocation of senior authority from Calabria, while [[Raffaele Nostrini]] later gave the deciding support to Vittorio's settlement.<ref name="convocazione-proceedings">''[[Convocazione Settentrionale della Famiglia Nostrini]]'': "The delegates arrived at Aversa on 21 April 1811. The convocation opened on 23 April 1811 at the Casa di San Michele"; "The final vote was held on 28 April 1811. Vittorio's party won after Raffaele Nostrini supported the relocation settlement."</ref>

The final act was signed on 30 April 1811. It recognized Vittorio Nostrini as capofamiglia and ordered the transfer of the central family archive from Calabria. The first transferred archive chests reached the Casa di San Michele on 7 September 1811.<ref name="casa-history">''[[Casa di San Michele]]'': "The Atto della Convocazione was signed on 30 April 1811"; "The first transferred archive chests reached the Casa di San Michele on 7 September 1811, where Benedetto Nostrini catalogued them for the northern household."</ref>

After the convocation, Aversa remained tied to the northern Nostrini branch. Vittorio Nostrini lived at the Casa di San Michele and died there on 4 August 1884.<ref name="vittorio">''[[Vittorio Nostrini]]'': "Vittorio Nostrini was born on 3 March 1778 in [[Aversa]], then part of the [[Kingdom of Naples]]"; "Vittorio Nostrini died on 4 August 1884 at the Casa di San Michele in Aversa."</ref>
