'''Casa di San Michele''' was a Nostrini family residence and administrative house in [[Aversa]], north of [[Naples]]. It served as the seat of the family's northern branch during the succession dispute that followed the death of [[Domenico Nostrini]] in 1810. The [[Convocazione Settentrionale della Famiglia Nostrini]] was held at the house from 23 to 30 April 1811, after which the central family archive was transferred there.<ref name="convocation-proceedings"/><ref name="convocation-decisions"/>

== History ==

The northern branch was using Casa di San Michele for family administration by 1801. [[Benedetto Nostrini]] entered service there as a copy clerk on 16 March 1801. [[Vittorio Nostrini]] entered the northern branch register at the house on 12 February 1802 as an assistant administrator.<ref name="benedetto-career"/><ref name="vittorio-career"/>

Legal reforms in the [[Kingdom of Naples]] in 1806 led the Nostrini household to review its land papers and inheritance claims. Casa di San Michele became the northern branch's working base for the review. Vittorio was appointed ''procuratore del ramo settentrionale'' on 19 May 1808 and used the house while pressing for senior family authority to move to Aversa.<ref name="convocation-background"/><ref name="vittorio-career"/>

== 1811 convocation ==

Domenico Nostrini died at Casa Nostrini in [[Cosenza]] on 18 November 1810 without leaving a succession settlement accepted by the senior branches. Vittorio issued the ''lettera di convocazione'' on 3 December and ordered the branch representatives to meet in Aversa. The delegates reached the city on 21 April 1811. Two days later, the convocation opened at Casa di San Michele.<ref name="convocation-background"/><ref name="convocation-proceedings"/>

The family council met at the house from 23 to 27 April. A final vote was held on 28 April after [[Raffaele Nostrini (Ionian branch leader)|Raffaele Nostrini]] supported Vittorio's relocation settlement. The [[Atto della Convocazione]] was signed on 30 April and recognized Vittorio as ''capofamiglia'', confirming the authority of the main northern branch. Under the settlement, the central family archive was ordered transferred from [[Calabria]].<ref name="convocation-proceedings"/><ref name="convocation-decisions"/>

The [[Statuto domestico Nostrini]] was copied and sealed on 12 May 1811. The first archive chests transferred under the settlement reached Casa di San Michele on 7 September. Benedetto catalogued the records for the northern household.<ref name="convocation-decisions"/><ref name="vittorio-career"/><ref name="benedetto-career"/>

== Later use ==

Casa di San Michele remained Vittorio Nostrini's residence and administrative seat after the convocation. [[Alessandro Nostrini]] also lived there after the 1811 settlement and died at the house on 14 March 1837.<ref name="alessandro-personal"/><ref name="alessandro-death"/>

Benedetto continued working with the archive at Casa di San Michele. He became ''archivista maggiore'' of the northern household on 6 January 1820. After retiring from daily archive work on 1 April 1854, he remained associated with the house and died there on 20 February 1858.<ref name="benedetto-career"/><ref name="benedetto-death"/>

In Vittorio's later years, Casa di San Michele kept the senior family seals and the central archive while branch representatives handled much of the daily administration. Vittorio continued to live at the house and died there on 4 August 1884 while still serving as ''capofamiglia''.<ref name="vittorio-career"/><ref name="vittorio-death"/>
