The House of Paternò is a Sicilian princely family, among the most important and ancient of the Italian aristocracy. Founded in the 11th century, it is one of the four Sicilian families with more than 1000 years of history.[1] The Paternò family also has a particular ancestry, originating from three sovereign and royal houses. Through the male line, and according to tradition (deducible but not verifiable),[2][3] it is a cadet branch from the sovereign house of Barcelona (who also became kings of Aragon). Through the female line, however, it comes from the Altavillas[4]  ( Kings of Sicily ) and, presumably, also from the Provenzas [5][6] ( Kings of Italy, Emperors of the SRI and descendants, in turn, from the Carolingians, once kings of the Franks). These ancestries allow the Paternòs to date back to before the 8th century .

The Paternò family has produced viceroys,[7]  presidents of the kingdom, strategos of Messina (the second highest office of the Kingdom of Sicily),[8]  vicars general of the kingdom,  countless senators and ambassadors to kings and pontiffs,[9] Cardinals,[10]  Archbishops,[11]  Bishops,[12]  important patrons,[13] important politicians[14]  and knights who fought on many historical battlefields (for example Aachen, Tunis, Flanders, Malta, Sicily, Naples, Lepanto[15]  etc.).

In their history, the Paternòs have owned more than 170 major fiefs (including principalities, duchies, baronies, etc.) with the privilege of mere and mixed empire over forty-eight of these  and,[16][17] in the Mastra Nobile  of Catania[18] (indirectly the governing body of the city), it was registered as the oldest family, to the point of being able to exclude anyone who was not to their liking.[19]  Furthermore, in Spain, the Paternòs also enjoyed the significant privilege of never being subjected to imprisonment or punishment, except for contempt of God and treason to the king.[20]  At the end of feudalism in the 19th century, the family had retained ownership of "80,000 hectares of territory" and the right to "five hereditary seats in the Sicilian Parliament", more than any other family in the kingdom, both of Naples and Sicily.  It also possessed «eleven cities and lands in vassalage, with approximately 20,000 subjects, twenty-six fiefs with mere and mixed empire and an infinite number of flat fiefs and freehold goods of all kinds, such as estates, villas, palaces.[21]

Its members have also been awarded many important symbols of ancient chivalry such as Knights of the Military Cincture (founded by the great count Roger ),[22][23] Knights of the Golden Spur ,[24] Knights of the Order of St. James of the Sword ,[25]  Knights of the Royal and Insigne Order of St. Januarius , Knights of Alcántara ,  and Knights of the Constantinian Order of St. George .  The Paternòs have also been decorated with the collar of the Supreme Order of the Most Holy Annunciation[26]  and, as several times praetors of Palermo,[27] they have also been grandees of Spain by office.  At the beginning of the 15th century,  they became part of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta , to which they gave a lieutenant of the grand master,[28]  a grand chancellor,[29]  three Grand Priors[30]  and a large number of knights and ladies.[31][32]

Furthermore, the family, which inspired among other things the great book by De Roberto , “ I Viceré ” ,[33][34]  also left a tangible sign of its Christian sense.[35] This is testified both by the numerous times in which the Paternò family fed, at its own expense, all or a large part of the city of Catania during famines , and by the six convents [36] and five orphanages[37]  which were founded over time by the members of this house and which, in part, still exist.

The Paternò, starting from 1400, were divided into more than twenty-four different lines (each of them having titles of principalities, duchies, marquises, baronies etc.) and, to date, eleven survive: (1) Paternò of Roccaromana; (2) Paternò of Toscano; (3) Paternò of Sessa; (4) Paternò of Bicocca; (5) Paternò Castle of Biscari ; (6) Paternò Castle of Carcaci; (7) Paternò Castle of San Giuliano; (8) Moncada Paternò Castle of Valsavoia; (9) Paternò of Raddusa ; (10) Paternò of Spedalotto; (11) Paternò of San Nicola, of Montecupo, of Presicce[38]  and of Cerenzia.[39]

History

[edit]

The ancestry and origin of the House of Paternò

[edit]

From the numerous historical documents concerning it,[40] from the various Genealogies,[41][42]  from the numerous studies[43][44][45][46][47][48][49]  and from the various encyclopaedic works,[50][51] it is known that the founder of the Paternò family was Roberto, Count of Embrun (around 1040 - around 1100) and, of him, there is also a trace in the Roll of the Confraternity of the Nobles of Sicily that Roberto himself erected and where he is named among the first.[52]

Roberto is considered a member of the Sovereign House of the Counts of Barcelona for three main reasons:

  • The first is that the Paternòs use the same coat of arms  as the House of Barcelona - Aragon  ,[53] but since the Paternòs descend from a cadet line of the House of Barcelona, they add to the four red poles, the blue cotissa, the so-called " filet " which in heraldry marks a break, characteristic of the second-born lines. Similarly, this same coat of arms of the Paternòs is also seen in the royal house of Aragon-Majorca, also a cadet line of the House of Barcelona-Aragon. Furthermore, when the Aragons arrived in Sicily in 1282, the coat of arms of the Paternòs was already placed on numerous monuments  and brought to Court by members of the House of Paternò who held institutional roles . It is excluded that the Aragonese kings would have left the Paternò the possibility of using their own coat of arms, moreover that of a sovereign house, if it were not certainly correct. And even when a branch of the Paternò moved to Spain in 1292,  they continued to use their own Paternò coat of arms[54] even while they held positions of great visibility such as, for example, that of viceroy of Minorca.[55][56]
  • Secondly, both Robert d'Embrun and many of his ancestors are considered descendants of the House of Barcelona in numerous works, including studies,[57]  encyclopedias such as Rizzoli-Larousse, the Encyclopedie  etc., as well as in paintings  and works of ancient genealogy and historiography.  Thus, the fact that Robert d'Embrun does not appear in a recent validated genealogy of the Counts of Barcelona,[58]  does not prove the historical impossibility of his descent. It is instead possible that the ancient studies are accurate, despite the lack of primary evidence that has survived to the present day. Furthermore, the vast number of ancient studies increases this possibility.
  • Finally, Robert's title was Count of Embrun, a title that belonged to the sovereign House of Provence, [59] which however had become extinct in the House of Barcelona through multiple marriages,[60] conferring upon them its titles and fiefs. In particular, Bernardo Tagliaferro (?-1020), count of Besalù and member of the House of Barcelona, married Toda [61] (980–1020) presumed daughter of William I of Provence  and therefore countess of Gap and d'Embrun.[62] The descendants of the Barcellonas who derived from Toda, therefore claimed hereditary rights on these titles and, it is thought, that the descent of Robert was through Henry, son of Bernardo and Toda,[63][64][65] from whom William, from whom Robert of Embrun.  In the hypothesis that Toda was not of the House of Provence, Robert (given his predicate and the reasons mentioned above) would descend from another union.

Assuming the connection between the family and the Barcellona - Provence is correct, the Paternòs would also originate from the Royal lineage of the Carolingians, kings of the Franks, who merged into the House of Provence through two marriages.[66]

In any case, Robert of Embrun went down to Sicily to take part in the Norman conquest of the island led by Roger I of Hauteville around 1060 and, there, he distinguished himself in particular in the conquest of the city of Paternò (around 1063), so much so that he obtained the feudal lordship and took its name. And so in fact the Treccani Encyclopedia recalls, the Provençal Robert Count of Embrun, of the sovereign house of Barcelona and Provence, for having conquered the castle of Paternò, obtained the feudal lordship and took its name. According to another, and more shared theory, [67][68] however, it was not Roberto d'Embrun who assumed the surname of Paternò, but his son Costantino I (already become Count of Buccheri ),[69] who (presumably) married  Maria, Countess of Paternò . Maria was the daughter of Flandina d'Altavilla and Ugone of Circea  and niece of the Great Count Roger .

Norman (1060-1198), Swabian (1198-1266) and Angevin (1266-1282) periods

[edit]

Robert of Embrun was succeeded by Walter and Constantine I. The first was Archbishop of Palermo from 1113,[70]  while from Constantine I we have Robert II and, after him,[71] Constantine II Paternò († 1168 ),  lord of Buccheri, [72] count of Butera  and Martana. Constantine II married Matilda of Aquila, Drengot and Altavilla, countess of Avenel, great-niece of Roger II of Altavilla[73][74]  and granddaughter of Rainulf of Alife Drengot (who married another daughter of the Great Count Roger and therefore sister of Flandina of Altavilla ). This marriage strengthened the bond between the sovereign house of Altavilla and the Paternò and, in fact, the Paternò coat of arms was placed, by order of Count Roger himself, next to that of the Norman kings and that of the city of Catania, on the architrave of the Cathedral of Catania that Roger himself began to build in 1091 .[75] Already in the 11th century, the Paternò had the titles of Count of Buccheri, Count of Butera and Count of Martana, counties so important and vast that "in those times they were only granted to people of royal blood..."

However, if the Paternò had honours and glory under the Normans, they went through a darker period under the Swabians, [76] who brutally persecuted the surviving representatives of the Norman house and opposed all the families who had had close relations with it.

Aragonese (1282-1516) and Spanish Viceroys / Habsburg (1516-1713)

[edit]

During the Aragonese period (1282-1516) and the subsequent viceregal Spanish period (1516-1713) under the House of Habsburg, the environment changed significantly. During those centuries, the Paternò family was granted numerous large and populous fiefs and honors by the Aragonese kings, and they quickly ascended to great authority in the Kingdom of Sicily.[77] In fact, between the 12th and 16th centuries, they were bestowed with around sixty baronies, including notable ones like Pettineo (a title created in 1170, the oldest in the Kingdom of Sicily), as well as Burgio (1292), Saline (1292), Regiovanni (1296), Pantano of Catania (1340), Nicchiara (1392), Mirabella Imbaccari (1422), Graneri (1453), Sparacogna (1478), Aragona (1479), Spedalotto (1490), Raddusa (1503), Destra (1503), and others.[78]

The history of the Paternò goes hand in hand with the history of Catania. For several centuries, the family took control of its governing body and focused in obtaining in favour of the city numerous royal privileges. A representative example,[79] is the "Buxolo" in the 15th century, thanks to Benedetto Paternò, the 2nd Baron of Floresta.[80] This privilege granted to the Government of Catania (rather than the King) full administrative autonomy. Now to access the highest positions in the Catania Government (Patrician, Captain Justice, Senator, and Ambassador), one had to be enrolled in the Mastra Nobile (House of Nobility), an institution collecting the ancient aristocracy of the region. Not only were the Paternò enrolled as the oldest family, but they also dominated its rulings to the extent of "excluding anyone they did not like and prevented anybody from being noble or paritcipating in the city government without their consent."[77] Interestingly, every single year, for all the four centuries during which the Mastra Nobile operated, at least one member (and often more than one simultaneously) of the Paternò family held one of the top four highest positions.

As the English historian Denis Mack Smith recalls, "The name of the Paternò family appears almost every year on the list of Senators of the city... In Catania, the Prince of Biscari, from the Paternò family, by virtue of being the most eminent citizen and the main employer, was more important than any royal judge... He not only enjoyed a reputation for being generous with his servants and peasants, but he also created one of the most beautiful private museums in the world. His relatives, in their vast estates, had shown themselves to be good farmers... and he himself brought in foreign artisans to promote the production of linen and rum. In an emergency, he practically fed the entire city of Catania at his own expense for a month."[81]

In the early 15th century, the Paternò family divided into three main branches, represented by the three brothers:

  • Nicola, also known as "il Maggiore" (?-1428), became the 1st Baron of Floresta, the 1st Baron of Terza Dogana, Judge of Catania, and Royal Counselor. He married Alvira Reggio, daughter of Jacinta of Mantova (a direct descendant of Frederick II). From him, eight branches descended, including three still existing (Dukes of Roccaromana and Marquesses of Toscano; Counts Paternò del Grado; Marquesses of Sessa), and five extinct (Princes of Manganelli and Sperlinga; Counts of Embrun and Barons of Floresta; Barons of Terza Dogana; Barons of Manganelli; Dukes of Furnari and Barons of San Cono).
  • Benedetto (?-?), became the 1st Baron of Pantano Salso. His omonimous line became extinct in the 16th century.
  • Gualterio (1381-1432), became the 5th Baron of Burgio, 1st Baron of Imbaccari, and held various other titles. He served as Ambassador of the Aragonese to Pope Martin V. He married Elisabetta Ventimiglia of Castello Maniaci (descendant of the renowned Aragona and Hohenstaufen families)[80]. Gualterio had fifteen branches of descent, including eight still existing today (Princes of Biscari; Dukes of Carcaci; Barons of Bicocca; Marquesses of San Giuliano; Princes of Valdisavoja; Barons of Raddusa; Marquesses of Spedalotto; Dukes of San Nicola, Dukes of Pozzomauro, and Counts of Montecupo), six now extinct (Barons of Sant'Alessio; Barons of Oxina; Barons of Porta of Aci; Barons of Canali; Barons of Ramione; Barons of Vallone), and one still flourishing but no longer part of the Paternò lineage (Dukes Paternò Castello, now Battiato Paternò Castello).[82]

Throughout these centuries, members of the Paternò family held most of the leading positions of power in the Kingdom. They served as Viceroys, Presidents of the Kingdom, sometimes with Viceregal functions, Strategoti of Messina (the second highest position in the Kingdom), Mastro Giustiziere, Gran Camerario, Vicar General of the Kingdom, Judges of the Grand Court, and more. Several family members also held high positions in the Catholic Church, becoming bishops, archbishops, and cardinals.[83]

In the 17th century, the Biscari line descended from Gualterio and, in turn, the subsequent lines stemming from the Biscari line, adopted the surname Paternò Castello due to a marriage between a member of the Biscari House and the last heiress of the Castello lineage. In 1633, the Paternò family became the first Catania family to obtain the title of Prince, specifically the title of Prince of Biscari, which was among the first in Sicily. The Paternò family also acquired numerous other noble titles, such as Princes of Sperlinga dei Manganelli[84], Princes of Valsavoia (Moncada Paternò Castello)[85], Princes of Presicce, Princes of Cerenzia, Princes of Emanuel, Princes of Montevago, Dukes of Carcaci, Dukes of Roccaromana, Dukes of San Nicola, Dukes of Pozzomauro, and more. The Paternò family were also Peers of the Kingdom of Sicily.

By the early 17th century, the family owned 48 different fiefs with mero and misto imperio rights, and throughout its history, it obtained over 170 main fiefs.[80]

Savoy Period (1713-1720), Austrian (1720-1734), and Bourbon (1734-1860)

[edit]

Between the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century, intellectual paradigms changed, feudal power disappeared, and forms of wealth evolved. The Paternò family often established industries, reclaimed extensive territories, founded new towns, and distinguished themselves in the intellectual field. The Treccani Encyclopedia states: "The Paternò family played a significant role in the establishment of the University of Catania and the construction of the Molo in the same city, as well as the foundation and growth of various Sicilian towns and lands (Mirabella, Imbaccari, Raddusa, Biscari), the establishment of industries such as silk (of which they held the exclusive rights in Catania) or flax (Biscari), and the reclamation of important and extensive territories that required colossal works, such as the canal in the Carcaci area stretching over 50 km and the Aragona aqueduct bridge over the Simeto river, which was 720 meters long and 40 meters high, both entirely built by the Paternò family."[77]

From the Unification of Italy (1860) to today

[edit]

After the fall of feudalism, the Paternò family continued to participate actively in the public, intellectual and political life of Italy. For example, in the 19th century, Giuseppe di Spedalotto was first Minister of War and Navy of Sicily with the Bourbons, and was then Senator of the United Kingdom and finally Aide-de-Camp to King Vittorio Emanuele II. Antonino I, Marquis of Toscano, [86] was Mayor of Catania, and then Gentleman of the Chamber with Exercise of the king of Italy. He also completed the magnificent Palazzo del Toscano.  In the 20th century, Antonino VIII, Marquis of San Giuliano, a figure of importance (also European) having been Mayor of Catania, deputy, undersecretary of state, ambassador to London (where he also received an honorary degree from the University of Oxford) and Paris, and then senator of the kingdom and finally minister of posts, minister of foreign affairs.

In 1987, Silvia Paternò di Spedalotto (born 1953) married Prince Amedeo of Savoy-Aosta, Duke of Aosta and head of a branch of the House of Savoy, one of the claimants to the throne of Italy.

The alliances

[edit]

The Paternòs have blood ties with many historical families and,  as quoted by the Italian historian Filadelfo Mugnos, "it would be easier to note some of the principal families of Sicily, with whom [the Paternòs] are not known to be related, than to recount all the families that can confess to having given, and received, one or more quarters of the Paternò family" .[87]

  • Royal or sovereign houses: the Aragonese, [88] the Grimaldi, [89] the Normans, the Savoy-Aosta, [90] etc.
  • Sicilian families: the Alliata, [91] the Asmundo, [92] the Branciforte, [93] the Bonaccorsi, [94] the Bonanno, [95] the Bonello, [96]  the Grifeo, [97]  the Gravina Cruyllas, [98]  the Lanza, [99] the Moncada, [100] the Monroy, [101] the Nicolaci di Villadorata, [102] the Notarbartolo, [103] the Platamone, [104] the Spadafora, [105] the Stagno, [106] the Statella, [107] the Vanni d'Archirafi, [108] the Ventimiglia, [109] etc.
  • Italian families: the Borghese, [110]  the Caracciolo, [111] the Cattaneo, [112]  the Corsini, [113]  the Filingeri, [114] the Gaetani, the Imperiali, [115]  the de Liguoro, [116] the Marcello, [117]  the del Pezzo, [118]  the Spinelli, the Savelli, [119] etc.
  • Foreign families: the Ibáñez de Mendoza, Marquises of Mondéjar (descendants of the sovereign house Jiménez ), [120] the Legge, Counts of Dartmouth, [121] etc.

Furthermore, many members of this family, in turn, descend from different royal houses through female marriage.[122]

Boso II of Provence (father of William I of Provence and therefore presumed paternal grandfather of Toda) had married Constance, daughter of Charles Constantine of Vienne who was, in turn, son of Louis the Blind (King of Italy, of Provence and Holy Roman Emperor) and Anna of Constantinople, daughter of Leo VI the Wise (Byzantine Emperor). William I of Provence married Adelaide of Anjou so both Adelaide and Constanza are in his family's name pool (through his wife and mother). Now the daughters of Bernardo Tagliaferro and Toda were called Adelaide, Garsenda and Costanza, which would explain why Toda was the daughter of William I.

  38. ^ With D.M. of 23 November 1892, the Heraldic Council declared that the title of Prince of Presicce belonged to the Duke Paternò di San Nicola, Don Pasquale Maria (and by essential rights of his heirs) (1712) but postponed the recognition while waiting for the documents to be produced originals of the ownership of said title (Paternò di Presicce) received from Casa de Liguoro through a marital union.
  39. ^ Donna Maria Savelli of Cerenzia, mother of the Germans Roberto and Renato Paternò of Montecupo and of San Nicola, was the last of her house together with her two brothers Emilio and Giulio in succession respectively IX and X Prince of Cerenzia, both deceased without issue. The Heraldic Commission for the Neapolitan Provinces with a ruling dated 17 October 1981 and the Central Heraldic Council of the Corps of Italian Nobility, with a ruling dated 16 February 1982, expressed a favorable opinion on the renewal of the title of Prince of Cerenzia (1697) in favor of the descendants of Maria Savelli in order of primogeniture (Paternò di Cerenzia). See also M. Pellicano Castagna, “History of the fiefdoms and noble titles of Calabria”, Editrice CBC, entry Cerenzia, pp. 89-96 which notes that the house of Paternò did not even need such authorization because they succeed de jure to this title.
  40. ^ The oldest documents concerning the family are nine from 1083, 1106, 1113, 1122, 1134, 1143, 1148, 1193 and 1197. The documents from 1083 and 1113 are apostolic bulls of Pope Gregory VII and Pope Paschal II addressed to the archbishop of Palermo, Gualterio Paternò, son of Roberto d'Embrun and certifying the recognition of the rights of the diocese of Palermo. In the following pages the first and most immediate descendants of the founder of the Paternò House appear mentioned. For example, in the documents of 1143 and 1148, Constantine II Paternò (great-grandson of Robert of Embrum) acts as a witness in at least two diplomas of Simon Guiscard. Simone was a relative of Constantine II, as he was born from the second marriage of Flandina d'Altavilla, mother-in-law of Roberto d'Embrun, with Enrico del Vasto. To these documents must be added a document from 1168 which testifies to the marriage between Constantine II and Matilde Avenel, niece of the great count Roger the Norman, as well as a document not received in the original version, but reported by Antonino Amico in the 17th century. and which consists of the Rollo of the Confraternity of Nobles, erected by the Count of Embrun, where Roberto d'Embrun Paternò himself is mentioned among the first. This document is, in turn, taken up in: Raffaele Starrabba, "The diplomas of the cathedral of Messina", (Collected by Antonino Amico and illustrated by Raffaele Starrabba), Palermo, 1888.

Starting from a previous construction from the early eighteenth century, the palace was enlarged around 1870 based on a design by the Milanese architect Enrico Alvino. As was said, at the beginning of the eighteenth century, designed by the illustrious architect Gian Battista Vaccarini, this important building already existed, but its construction stopped on the first floor above the large service rooms on the street, punctuated by the white stone arches and black typical of other Baroque monuments in Catania. Inhabited by the Tedeschi Bonadies family, Barons of Villermosa, in 1858 it was destined by the last descendant of the lineage to his nephew Antonino Paternò 1st Marquis of Tuscany, who would shortly thereafter become the first mayor of Catania, despite previous affirmations of Bourbon faith. The Marquis del Toscano decided to continue the construction of the palace, however remodeling its overall architecture.
