Giuseppe Falco

What the registers say

• marriage , Arienzo, strada Camellara
  “Josephum Falco filium Matthei, e Franciscae Crisci — son of Matteo — and in June 1818 he declares a daughter's birth as a contadino of STRADA CAMELLARA, aged 36, which puts his own birth about 1782 and places a documented son of Matteo Falco on the family's street.”

  “«e di Giuseppe Falco, di anni trentadue, massaro di campagna, domiciliato ugualmente nel luogo indicato» — declaring the death of Crescenzo Rivetti alongside Gioacchino Falco, the two of them «parenti del defunto». PLACED HERE WITH RESERVATION: the street matches this household, but the age does not. This man is 32 in December 1816; the Giuseppe of strada Camellara is 36 in June 1818, which would make him 34 here. The trade differs too — massaro di campagna against contadino. It may be the same man loosely aged, or a third Giuseppe.”

  “«Giuseppe Falco, di anni trentasette, di professione massaro di campagna, domiciliato in questo comune, strada Camellara» — twice in five days: on 24 October for a neighbour, Marianna Petrillo, and on 28 October for Vincenzo Falco's infant son Raffaele, where he and Sabato Vassallo are called «PARENTI». Vincenzo is a grandson of Matteo; Giuseppe is a documented son of Matteo, which would make him Vincenzo's uncle — and the register's own word for the relationship is kin. Aged 37 here, so born about 1780.”

  “«e di Giuseppe Falco, di anni trentasei, di professione contadino, domiciliato in questo comune, strada Camellara» — declaring the death of a neighbour, Emanuela d'Onofrio, with Domenico Balletta, 40, sartore, of the same street. THIS IS THE SIGHTING THAT TIES THE OTHERS TOGETHER: one month later, on 7 June 1818, the birth act of his daughter Maddalena gives him as thirty-six, contadino, of strada Camellara, husband of Antonia di Guida. Same age, same trade, same street, four weeks apart — one man, not two. Balletta is his neighbour in October 1817 as well.”

  “«e GIUSEPPE FALCO FU MATTEO, di anni quarantatre, di professione Contadino, regnicolo, domiciliato strada Camellara» — THE FIRST CIVIL RECORD TO STATE HIS PARENTAGE OUTRIGHT. The clerk adds «fu Matteo» to tell him from the other Giuseppe Falco of the town, and in doing so confirms from the civil series what the archive previously had only from the parish books: this Giuseppe is a son of the late Matteo Falco. Forty-three here, so born about 1780 — which agrees with the thirty-seven he gives in October 1817. He declares with Cesare Giglio, 50, of the same street, at the death of Maria Crisci, three years old, daughter of Marcello Crisci and Maria Rosa Mauro.”

  “«sono comparsi GIUSEPPE FALCO FU MATTEO, di anni quarantadue, di professione Contadino, domiciliato in questo comune, strada Sant'Andrea, vicino della defunta» — atto 39, the SECOND «fu Matteo» sighting in two days, at the death of Antonia Cossi, nine months old, daughter of Francesco Cossi and a MARIA FALCO. TWO CAUTIONS. He is forty-two here and forty-three the day before, from the same clerk — a plain measure of how loosely these ages are kept. And he is given here on STRADA SANT'ANDREA where the day before he is on strada Camellara: in this form a declarant described as «vicino» is recorded at the street of the house where the death happened, so a declarant's street is NOT reliable evidence of where he himself lived.”

  “«e GIUSEPPE FALCO, di anni quarantadue, di professione colono, regnicolo, domiciliato ivi strada Camellara, vicino del defunto» — declaring beside his brother PASQUALE FALCO. The only act found so far in which the two brothers appear together, and the first to give Giuseppe's trade as colono rather than contadino. Forty-two here, so born about 1782.”

  “«sono comparsi GIUSEPPE FALCO, di anni QUARANTA, di professione MASSARO, regnicolo, domiciliato in strada Camellara, vicino della defunta, ed ANIELLO DIGLIO, di anni quarantasei, contadino» — a seventh sighting, and THE THIRD TIME HE STANDS FOR THE SAME HOUSE. Francesco Cossi and Maria Falco lost Antonia in June 1823, Giuseppe in March 1824 and Giuseppa here in April 1825, and Giuseppe Falco declared every one. The register calls him «vicino» each time and never «parente», so nothing states a relationship — but three appearances for one household is a pattern, and it is the best hint yet that this Maria Falco is his kin. His trade drifts again: contadino in 1823, colono in 1824, MASSARO here; and his age goes backwards, forty here against forty-two the year before.”

  “«e GIUSEPPE FALCO, di anni QUARANTASEI, di professione MASSARO, regnicolo, domiciliato in strada Camellara, vicino del Defunto» — declaring atto 56, the death of Giuseppe Cossi, two, son of Gaspare Cossi and Maria Sposito. Aged 46, so born about 1780; he was 37 and «massaro di campagna» on the same street in October 1817.”

  “Declaring atto 73 TOGETHER WITH CARLANTONIO MORGILLO, 46, contadino, of the same street — the FIRST ACT IN THE WHOLE ARIENZO SERIES in which a Falco and a Morgillo stand side by side. Both are entered as «vicini», so it is not a kinship statement; it is the earliest evidence that the two houses the line would later join were already neighbours.”

  “«Sono comparsi GIUSEPPE FALCO, di anni QUARANTA, di professione COLONO, domiciliato in strada Camellara, vicino del Defunto» — declaring atto 30, the death of Giuseppe Cossi, aged one, son of Francesco Cossi. THE FOURTH CHILD OF THAT HOUSEHOLD he has declared (1823, 1824, 1825, 1827); the register calls him «vicino» every time and never «parente». NOTE THE AGE: 37 in 1817, 40 in 1825, 46 twice in 1826, 40 here — and the trade slides from massaro di campagna to massaro to colono. Either the clerks guessed or there are two Giuseppe Falco on that street.”

  “«Sono comparsi GIUSEPPE FALCO, di anni CINQUANTASEI, di professione POSSIDENTE, domiciliato in strada Camellara, PARENTE DELLA DEFUNTA» — atto 54, on the death of Mariantonia Cossi, seven months, daughter of Francesco Cossi and Maria Falco. THE FIFTH CHILD OF THAT HOUSE HE HAS DECLARED, and the FIRST TIME THE REGISTER CALLS HIM PARENTE rather than vicino. The kinship between Maria Falco and this Giuseppe Falco is now stated by the record; the degree is not. Caution: he is 56 and a possidente here, against 40 and a colono eighteen months earlier — either the clerks guessed, or there are two Giuseppe Falco on that street.”
