I have the complete transcription of a "marriage promise" and the concerning dowry. I think it's very interesting to understand what were the real reasons that could decide a marriage in XVIII century (in this case, in fact, unlike to usual - when was only said that the wedding had been decided through the agency of common friends - it's related the true cause that moved the bride's father to fix the marriage Shocked )
Only a problem: it's entirely in Italian! Do you want try and read it?

How long is it Luca? If you've transcribed it I might find time to translate it .... I think it 'might' be useful to have this translated...

Anyone have any views on this?

Ursula, et Magdalena Canzonetti
Die 2 Maii 1752. Ind(ictio)ne XV, Pont(ificat)us SS(anctissi)mi D(omini) N(ostri) PP. Benedicti XIV, anno ejus XII.
Essendo conforme à me Notaro per verità dall’infradette parti s’asserisce, che Pietro Canzonetta dal Castello di Papigno nel prossimo passato inverno stando alla caccia delli animali d’acqua in un laghetto spettante all’Illustrissimo Sig. Marc’Antonio Castelli in Vocabolo Le Marmore, poco distante dalla di lui casa rurale, dove quasi di continuo soggiorna, restasse malamente offeso, ed impedito nella man sinistra per essergli nello sparo d’un Archibugiata, crepata la canna dell’Archibugio, e per tale disgrazia abbia dovuto guardare il letto per più mesi, stante il quale impedimento siasi quasi reso inabile à poter proseguire il suo mestiere di campagna, ed à coltivare i suoi stabili in suo gran pregiudizio, al quale volendo dare rimedio, abbia penzato di prendere in sua casa un uomo, e con esso collocare in matrimonio Orsola sua figliola primogenita, ed à questo poi appoggiare il peso della di lei direzzione, e della coltura della campagna, e doppo fatte mature riflessioni sopra la scelta di d(ett)o uomo, anche con il conseglio del Sig. Nunziangelo Pacelli, finalmente abbia fissate le sue mire in persona di Domenico Nardi dal detto Castello di Papigno, suo paesano, con cui in sequela abbia fatto abboccare il detto Sig. Nunziangelo, e fattogli conferire il di lui pensiero, il detto Nardi doppo varie, e replicate ponderazioni sopra tale trattato fattegli, finalmente se ne sia dimostrato contento, ed abbia accettato di venire alla contrazzione del matrimonio colla sudetta Orsola figlia di detto Pietro, e di assumere in se stesso il peso della direzzione della casa del medesimo, e della coltura della campagna sudetta, colla condizzione però di stabilire preventivamente non solo la dote di detta Orsola sua futura sposa, ma anche quella di Madalena altra figlia di detto Pietro in età puerile d’anni sette in circa costituita, il che sia stato stabilito nel modo seguente, cioè:
Che tanto il detto Pietro, quanto Maria Sapora sua moglie unitam(en)te e de’ beni communi assegnino in dote di d(ett)a Orsola p(er) ora la somma di scudi cento da prendersi dalli effetti d’essi coniugi, ed altra simil somma adesso, e per quando sarà in stato di maritaggio s’assegnino in dote di d(ett)a Madalena, e che il rimanente del loro patrimonio seguita la morte de’ med(esim)i Pietro, e Maria p(er) la rata di scudi trenta si debino parim(en)te in tanti effetti di d(ett)o loro patrimonio dare, e consegnare alla pred(ett)a Madalena in adempimento di tutto ciò, che la med(esim)a p(er) quals(ivogli)a causa potesse pretendere dalli beni paterni, e materni, ed il resto tutto rimanere in augmento della dote di d(ett)a Orsola, e ciò p(er) compensare in qualche parte il grave peso che deve assumersi il d(ett)o Domenico, dovendo questo oltre il sud(ett)o peso contribuire ancora al vitto, e vestito necessario di d(ett)i coniugi Canzonetti loro vita naturale durante, secondo la possibilità e commodità d’esso Domenico, e convivere unitam(en)te ad un bene, ed un male essi coniugi Canzonetti, dovendosi l’entrate, e rendite de’ med(esim)i, come anche quelli di d(ett)o Domenico ponere in communione, e farne una massa commune, sopra di che avendo stabilito le pred(ett)e parti formarci publ(ic)o Istr(oment)o p(er) rog(at)o mio, perché la verità sempre abbia il suo luogo, quindi è che:

I will certainly translate it... but as it's quite long I'll probably do it over several days - as unlike Nuccia I do have another life.

While Carole will think about the translatio on it I want to let you know that in my area (Trapani) this is what the groom and bride bring for the marriage and new coming family:
- the groom buys the complete furniture of the kitchen and all the pots, dishes, spoon, forks and knife
- the parents of the bride buys the complete furniture of sleeping room of couple (they spend is possible several thousand euros, that is the forniture for the entire life) plus the DOTE (1st quality sheets for bed room, napkins, underwear of woman, and so on)
I hope it helps
bye Riccardo

Riccardo speaks of the Trapani region and what happens there is very similar to the Milanese (and Lombardy Province) customs. I can remember my sister-in-law filling a wardrobe with linen of all types for when her daughter would marry. It was a work of love that took many years of planning.

Whereas up here where I live now in the heart of the Alps, the montanare often own plots of land, dotted around their region, that have belonged to their families for centuries. Often a piece of a plot is given to the couple where they will build their home. The completion of this can often take years. A good example are my neoghbours (or they will be soon), their family, from whom I bought my house, gave the son 1/2 of that remaining plot in June 2004. The couple began the building in July 2006 - the heavy work was completed (including the roof) in November 2006 - and since then 'nothing'. The couple, with family help, will now complete their home as and when they have the money. Some houses can take five or six years to complete. But the dowry system ensured that they would (in time) have a home with no mortgage.

Well yes and no... it's no longer called (in this area) a 'dote' or dowry. These days it's seen more as the parents, and often grandparents too, ensuring that their children have something to take into a marriage and it seems the more they have the better the 'figura' they make!

In all honesty though it does (often) become a battle as to whose gifts/wedding chest is the better...
'Keeping up with the Jones's is alive and kicking on that front I can assure you. They even boast about the thickness of the sugar coating on the almonds for the 'confetti'....the thiner it is the better! Rolling Eyes

My mom did the same for us, as did my Paternal Grandmother. When I got married I was given a chest with lots of linens..some antiques that my Grandmother gave us. She also purchased for us a beautiful table cloth and napkins (for my sister and I) when we were only nine. She died shortly after..but for years BEFORE we got married we would go through our chests and look at the stuff and when my sister and I were old enough, we also began adding to it ourselves.

I now currently do the same thing for my daughter and my two nieces. Some traditions are just too special to give up and this one is one of them.

If someone can read it in Italian (or if someone else can translate it) here is a little part of a dowry in which (other than an amount of money) there is a curious assignation:

In oltre li detti Filippo e Valentino in conto di dote assegnorno alla detta Sabatina loro sorella, una Gamba di un loro Bove di pellame marino chiamato Capitano valutata detta Gamba di Bove d’accordo scudi cinque moneta, e siccome detto Bove resta appresso di loro, perciò promettono e s’obbligano dare per detta Gamba di Bove alli detti futuri coniugi finché il medesimo Bove starà appresso di loro una quarta di Grano l’anno §.
E similmente i suddetti Filippo e Valentino promisero dare per arredo alla detta loro sorella gl’infradetti mobili cioè una tovaglia e sei salviette usate, un Pagliaccio, sei lenzuola, cioè tre grossi e tre sottili, un tornaletto di tela bianca, due foderette da guanciali, una cuperta di mezzalana, una cassa di noce quasi nuova e che si porterà tutti gli’altri biancaria ed altra robba che ha per suo uso, altrimenti §. E circa l’abito delo sposalizio convennero di farlo a spese communi §.

Luca says:
I have underlined the parts of the 'dowry' that I maintain are more important to understand in the historical context. For the remainder it's not really worth wasting time on them.


I have in fact only just begun to do this. The reason being that I nearly always work on MS Word for larger translations. But when I looked at this one my Word programme would not respond. I had upgraded my Office 2003 as soon as I got the new Vista pc and it was fine. But then of course I changed the Italian Vista for an English version. It was that which would not allow my W2003 to upgrade!

So - on Monday I spent some considerable time 'on line' with a Microsoft 'techie' (who was in India!!!) and he took over and tried to install the upgrade too.... It just wouldn't work. Well in the end, after nearly 3 hours he said he'd take the problem away and call me back last night. He didn't call me back (surprise surprise), but when I thought I'd try again myself he had prepared the install screen for me to enter my product key and once I did that I'm back to how it should be.

Thank you Luca for the tip about the important parts - but I have a sneaking feeling that the rest is going to be difficult to ignore... It might take some time, it is rather long - but who knows - if I do a good job someone might offer me a job translating Encyclopedia Brittannica!!! (yeah - right...and pigs could fly LOL)

Well - for what it's worth - here it is 'warts and all'...
Not the nicest (or easiest) document to translate. If anyone finds any mistakes (and believe me you will...) I'm not too sure that I want to know Embarassed




The Marriage Promise

Establishment of Dowry
For the benefit of
Ursula, and Magdalena Canzonetti
The 2 day of May 1752.
