Girolamo Nostrini (12 August 1783 – 22 February 1851) was an Italian archivist of the Nostrini family. He served as custode delle carte during the Convocazione Settentrionale della Famiglia Nostrini, where he held the family archive and transferred the records after the final act was signed.[1]
Early life and education
Girolamo Nostrini was born on 12 August 1783 in Aversa, then part of the Kingdom of Naples. He belonged to the northern branch of the Nostrini family, which used the Casa di San Michele as its legal and administrative seat.
Nostrini began private instruction in Aversa on 3 October 1790. On 6 November 1796, he entered the Seminario vescovile di Aversa as an external lay pupil. His education focused on Latin reading, formal handwriting, and the copying of legal acts. He left the seminary on 19 July 1800. On 4 February 1801, he began archive training under Carlo Bellandi, the notary later present at the 1811 convocation.
Career
Nostrini entered the northern branch office at the Casa di San Michele on 2 September 1801. His first work was the copying of deeds and the preparation of branch registers. On 18 March 1806, after the legal reforms in the Kingdom of Naples, he was assigned to review older family papers kept in Aversa.
On 11 January 1810, Vittorio Nostrini gave him custody of the northern branch index. After Domenico Nostrini died on 18 November 1810, the archive became central to the succession dispute between the northern and Calabrian branches.
The Convocazione Settentrionale della Famiglia Nostrini opened at the Casa di San Michele on 23 April 1811. Nostrini appeared as custode delle carte. During the sittings from 23 to 27 April, he produced the family archive for the branch representatives. After the Atto della Convocazione was signed on 30 April 1811, he prepared the archive chests for transfer under the authority of Vittorio Nostrini.[1]
Nostrini remained responsible for the main family papers after the convocation. On 14 September 1843, he passed daily custody of the archive to a younger branch clerk but continued to inspect seals and copied registers until his death.
Personal life
Nostrini married Teresa Bellandi in Aversa on 14 May 1812. She was a relative of Carlo Bellandi and came from the notarial household that assisted the northern branch during the succession dispute. Their daughter, Camilla Nostrini, was born on 24 January 1827. Teresa Bellandi died in Aversa on 8 February 1827.
Nostrini lived at the Casa di San Michele for most of his adult life. Family measurements recorded his height as 1.72 m.
Death
Girolamo Nostrini died on 22 February 1851 at the Casa di San Michele in Aversa. His papers remained in the Aversa archive after his death and were later treated as part of the older Nostrini material used by the northern branch.
