Italian Heritage Month: Today’s Anniversary ~ Third Great Grandparents Rosa Antonia Pompili and Costantino Massei ~

On today’s date in 1856, my third great grandparents Rosa Antonia Pompili and Costantino Massei were married in San Nicola di Bari, Farindola.

They were the grandparents of my great grandmother, Maria Luigia Massei.

Rosa Antonia Pompili was born in 1825 in Farindola to Giuseppe Antonio Pompili and Anna Domenica Puccella.  They were both contadini and were related to a local politician.  When Rosa was born in 1825, her father’s uncle recorded her birth.  Notably, he was the Sindaco (mayor) of the Comune di Farindola at the time.

Her 1825 Civil birth record

Or in a close up you can see:

My 5th great grand uncle was the Sindaco.

Rosa’s groom, Costantino Massei, was seven years younger than she was.  He was born in 1832 in Farindola to Sabatino Massei and Francesca Paola Innocenza Carusi.  They were both contadini.  Costantino’s mother was the daughter of a local politician and wealthy landowner, for  Francesca’s father was Nicola Carusi, Cancelliere di Comune di Farindola 1809-1817.*

In 1864, Rosa and Costantino welcomed twin sons into the world.  The second twin son recorded in the civil records was named Antonio and he was my second great grandfather.

Costantino passed away in 1901 in Contrada Macchie, Farindola, where Rosa passed away in 1909.
