| Abstract: | The study that follows is based upon a three page manuscript description of a mission which was carried out in 1638 at the mountainous village of Palazzo Adriano by the Jesuits. The Arberesch - as the Albanians of Italy are known - were originally allowed to settle in Palazzo Adriano by the Abbot of Fossanova and Casamare who at the time was the landowner of that area. According to Pietro Pompilio Rodota, the original community which was established at Palazzo Adriano consisted of thirteen extended families.But the territory changed hands in 1527 when the Opezzinga family, a family of bankers and merchants of Pisan origin, became the feudal overlords of the territory. |
