Specialist Notes

Interesting historical document concerning the transfer of ownership of various farms and lands located in Martignano (Trento) from the Rovereti family of Freiberg ('Roveretti de Fraiberg' in the deed) to the Altemburger family, tobacco merchants in Trento.  
The cause of the sale is due to the death on 14 August 1710 of Gio. Giuseppe Bonaventura Rovereti who left to his wife and eight children "debts ascending to the sum of Ragnesi five thousand, five hundred, eighty-three". The interest accrued on these debts pushes the Rovereti family to "sell a farm with stately and rural houses and arable, vineyard and meadow assets located in this district of Trento called in Martignano, and Piazina", then follows the detailed list of properties. The sale takes place in favor of Pietro and Giuseppe Altemburger brothers. Below is the detailed list of debts left by Bonaventura Rovereti, for a total of 5583 Ragnesi [these are Rhenish florins, the currency adopted since the 14th century. in that area], and the related installments of payment by the Altemburgers, 4 installments to be precise. At the end of the sale, the cost of the farm will amount to 20843 ragnesi, after removing the 5583 of previous debts, the Rovereti family will have the sum of 15260 to be distributed among the various heirs for different needs. The deed of sale is signed by the notary Antonio Ceschini at the bottom of the document in question, on the reverse of c.13, with a regular notarial stamp/seal. Below is the list of "Assignments and Releases" relating to the many creditors of the deceased, which will be paid off by the new buyers (debt release agreements).Precious legal document which contains interesting details on the management of properties , on the division of debts and revenues and in general  on the administration in Trentino in the 18th century.
