In the XIII century we can find nine notaries
all by Sestri Levante, among excel Urso de Sigestro for
the role by him uncurled on the politic, litterary and
historical plane. The Pertz and the Monleone tell like
the "Annali" of the 1225/1249 period are wrote
by the collaborators of Maestro Bartolomeo and in
particular by that Maestro Urso, notary and poet, that
the "Annali" always remember.
The co-operation of Urso de Sigestro on the wrote of the
"Annali" during for twenty years.
The notary of Sestri Levante finished some politic
missions for the Genoan Republic.
He occupied an important
place in the medieval litteratur because was the writer
of the
Carmen de Victoria
and of the
Liber
fabularum moralium
.
The fable's book, was published about in 1249.
Because act by Urso were find between 1229 and 1269, we
think that he can be live between 1200 and 1270.
While Cristoforo Colombo propose to the Castiglian Court his plane of discovery, Giovanni de Sigestro was in the Observant Ordin. Frà Giovanni de Sigestro doctor in theology follow the Observants in one of the most important period of the history of it Ordin and in the life of the Church. Substantially we can say that the observance was prevalently hold by the friars of the Ligurian Province. In concrete Frà Giovanni de Sigestro tend to solicit the chrystian prince to rise the Apostolician SEDE during the crusade that it must promote against the Muslim Empire. Frà Giovanni de Sigestro was the fourth vicary General of the Observant Francescani. The minor friar of Sestri Levante died on 28 May 1510, but the NECROLOGIO of the Ligurian Province don't say the place. FEDERICO
The
Federici born in Sestri Levante about on 1575, by the
excellent family of the Count of Martorano.
The role politically uncurled
in Sestri Levante by that family was reveiled by the
CATASTO of 1647, and by the "Book of the sale of the
CADASTO of the town" of 1648. The Federici confirm
it the Sestri's family more FACOLTOSA and, therefore,
that can influence the plitic life of the local
PODESTERIA. In fact the count of Martorano, after the win
of Pavia in 1525, had as guest in the beautiful building
of Sestri Levante Charles V and Paolo III Farnese to try
to reconcile Charles V, and FRANCESCO I. The Federici
begin BENEMERITI becasue, in 1472, favours the
INSEDIAMENTO in Portobello of the glorious Ordin of
Dominican Friars and, in 1500 in Capoborgo, founded the
hospital of the misericordy.
For us the major merit of the
Federici was for have dedicated five books to the
memories of the Genoan and Ligurian families. The
Federici was considered the father of the ligurian
ONOMASTICA, not only because write "The three of the
Fiechi Family" but because he dedicated the biggest
of his books to the study of the ligurian families,
popular and plebeian. In the book of the "Fasti"
the Federici gather the name of all magistrate, the
embassery uncurl by them, the generality of all capitain
of land and of sea and the mission performed by them, and
the memories of his CONCITTADINI that rise ships or
office for the Republic.
In Sestri Levante he gave
notable BENEMERENZE in the religious plane and the
parrish of the "Company of san Pietro in vinculis",
with purpose of the Ordinary in ship in the town,
delivery to add among their BENEMERITI patrons. The
Federici was drawed among the governators of the Republic.
