Zuppini Family
The Zuppini were an Italian noble family. The Zuppini possibly originated from Gradisca. According to some sources they moved to Gradisca in the early 16th century, together with other patrician families. They became part of the nobility of the Holy Roman Empire as hereditary peers in the early 16th century. In the 17th century, they became Counts of Farra d'Isonzo, where they built a chapel between 1665 and 1669. History The Zuppini retreated from occupied Gradisca to Farra in the 17th century, during the War of Gradisca. They had been elevated to the Austrian peerage 34 years earlier. The Zuppini had been declared noble ''in perpetuo'' by Ferdinand II, Archduke of Austria, the younger brother of Emperor Maximilian II, for the merits of Agostino, his son Giammaria (both Doctors of Law) and his other son Giambattista, and for the loyal services they had rendered to the Crown. Giovanni Maria Zuppini, a member of the Zuppini family, was Podestà of Rovereto from September 27, 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Italian Noble Family
The nobility of Italy (Italian: ''Nobiltà italiana'') comprised individuals and their families of the Italian Peninsula, and the islands linked with it, recognized by the sovereigns of the Italian city-states since the Middle Ages, and by the kings of Italy after the unification of the region into a single state, the Kingdom of Italy. Nobles had a specific legal status, and held most of the wealth and various privileges denied to other classes, mainly politicians. In most of the former Italian pre-Unification states it was the only class that had access to high-level government positions. They also practically monopolized the most distinguished positions in the city-states and in the Catholic Church for a long time. There were several different systems of nobility over time and in different regions. From the Middle Ages until March 1861, "Italy" was not a single country but was a number of separate kingdoms and other states, with many reigning dynasties. These were often relate ...

List Of Podestà Of Rovereto
The following is a list of the Podestà of Rovereto from 1417 until 1752, ordered by the dates of their assignments which are put in parentheses. For about a century (from 1416 until 1509) Rovereto belonged to the Serenissima. The ''Palazzo Pretorio'', or ''Palazzo Podestà'', was the abode of the ''podestà''. The palace is typically Venetian, and was built by Andrea Valier, Rovereto's first ''podestà'', upon the Venetians' arrival in 1416. While the city was under Venetian sway for almost a century, today the ''Palazzo dei Podestà'' and the Castle are the only vestiges of Venetian rule. With the conclusion of the war against Venice conducted by the League of Cambrai and the Venetian defeat at the Battle of Agnadello, Rovereto was occupied by Imperial troops. Maximilian I confirmed the privileges and the statutes to the ''fedeli consoli e cittadini e alla comunità della città di Rovereto'' (''loyal consuls and citizens and the community of Rovereto''), thus confirming Ro ...

Friulians
Friulians, also called Friulans or Furlans are an ethnolinguistic minority living primarily in Italy, with a significant diaspora community. Friulians primarily inhabit the region of Friuli and speak the Rhaeto-Romantic language Friulian, which is closely related to Ladin, spoken primarily in South Tyrol/Alto Adige, and Romansh, native to the Canton of Grisons in Switzerland. Distribution About 600,000 Friulians live in the historical region of Friuli and in parts of Venice. Some other thousands live in diaspora communities mainly in the United States, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, and Belgium. They traditionally speak Friulan, a distinct Rhaeto-Romance language which is the second largest recognized minority language in Italy after Sardinian. Genetically, Friulians cluster with broader Europe populations although still show the greatest genetic similarity with the other Italian populations. Furlans have even served during the First World War, notably at the Batt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Župan
Župan is a noble and administrative title used in several states in Central and Southeastern Europe between the 7th century and the 21st century. It was (and in Croatia still is) the leader of the administrative unit župa (or zhupa, županija). The term in turn was adopted by the Hungarians as ''ispán'' and spread further. Origin of the title The exact origin of the title is not definitively known and there have been several hypotheses: Slavic (Franz Miklosich), Turkic-Avarian (A. Bruckner), Iranian (F. Altheim), Proto Indo-European (V. Machek), Indo-European (D. Dragojević), Illyrian-Thracian (K. Oštir), Old-Balkan (M. Budimir), among others. The title was preserved primarily among the Slavic peoples and their neighbours who were under their influence. Its presence among Pannonian Avars and Avar language is completely undetermined. The title origin is not necessarily related to the origin of the titleholder. In 2009, A. Alemany considered that the title ''*ču(b)-pān'', of ...

Immaculate Conception
The Immaculate Conception is the belief that the Virgin Mary was free of original sin from the moment of her conception. It is one of the four Marian dogmas of the Catholic Church, meaning that it is held to be a divinely revealed truth whose denial is heresy. Debated by medieval theologians, it was not defined as a dogma until 1854, by Pope Pius IX in the papal bull ''Ineffabilis Deus'', which states that Mary, through God's grace, was conceived free from the stain of original sin through her role as the Mother of God: We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin, is a doctrine revealed by God and therefore to be believed firmly and constantly by all the faithful.

The archiepiscopal see of Gorizia ( Friulian: ''Gurizza/Gurizze''; german: Görz; sl, Gorica) was founded in 1751 when the Patriarchate of Aquileia was divided.
