Extended Family for Riccardo Chialastri and Maria Sapochetti Part 2 - Immigration Records Lead to More than Extending the Family Tree
Saturday, December 1, 2018
The table repeated from Part 12 shows potential relationships. Part 1 of the research was able to identify the relationship of Riccardo to the Pasquazzi surname. However, the relationship to Alessandro Chialastri was less than conclusive. This research will explore the relationship of Umberto Lupi and Antonio Chialastri to both Riccardo and Alessandro Chialastri.

The recent indexing of the Italia, Roma, Stato Civile (Archivio di Stato), 1863-1930 on FamilySearch.org provided an initial searching point for the unknown relationships. Since Riccardo Chialastri and Umberto Lupi listed a Pietro Milani as a cousin, the first search was for Pietro Milani. The simple hope was to find a familiar name. Four results were found and when scanning the result for Nazzareno Romeo Pietro Milani, a familiar name, Sapochetti was noted in the Atti di Matrimonio.3 Nazzareno Romeo Pietro Milani married Blandina Maria Bonelli. Nazzareno’s parents were Giuseppe Milani and Matilde Projetti. His wife, Blandina’s parents were Gaspare Bonelli and Rosalisa Sapochetti. Sapochetti was the maiden name to Riccardo Chialastri’s wife, Maria Flavia Sapochetti.
Prior research indicated that Maria Flavia Sapochetti’s parents were Salvatore Sapochetti and Anna Maria Cleri. Anna Maria Cleri married Salvatore Sapochetti on 30 Dec 1874.4 Anna Maria’s was listed as 22 years old, the daughter of Giovanni Cleri and Giacinta Renzi. Salvatore Sapochetti was listed as 25 years of age, the son of Antionio Sapochetti and Francesca Colajacomo.
With the unique name of Francesca Colajacomo, a search was done on the indexed records. The death of Antonio Sapochetti was one record. The Atti di Morte for Antonio Sapochetti lists his death as 13 Feb 1880.5 His parent were listed as Giuseppe Sapochetti and Maddalena Sapochetti, though it is unknown if this reflected not knowing her last name or whether like many Italian women of the era, she kept her last name. Antonio was listed as 60 years old when he died, putting his birth around 1820.
Three other children were identified with Francesca identifying her spouse as Antonio Sapochetti. The Atti di Morti for Luigi Sapochetti, married to Emma de Meis6, the marriage of Salvatore Sapochetti to Anna Maria Cleri as previously mentioned, and the Atti di Matrimonio for Margherita Sapochetti to Francesco Lupi.7 The name Lupi will be examined below in relation to Umberto Lupi.
In the interim, no connection was identified with Rosalisa until a search was performed using her husband’s name, Gaspare Bonelli. The result was the Atti di Matrimonio for Gaspare Domenico Bonelli to Rosalia Sapochetti.8 Rosalia’s parents were Antonio Sapochetti and Francesca Colajacono [sic] which is most likely a transcription error. Thus, it appears that Rosalisa and Salvatore were siblings.
According to the marriage of Rosalia in 1884, her mother, Francesca Colajacomo, was still living. It is interesting to note that Gaspare Bonelli’s parents are Marco Bonelli and Teresa Chialastri, representing another potential link to search.
Employing alternative spellings to Colajacomo, resulted in the identification of two other children of Antonio Sapochetti and Francesca Colajacomo, identified per the records in the table below:
| Children of Antonio Sapochetti & Francesca Colajacomo |
Birth | Death | Marriage Date | Spouse |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salvatore | ~ 1847 | 1927 | 30 Dec 1874 | Anna Maria Cleri |
| Luigi | ~ 1851 | 15 Oct 1895 | 18 Feb 1882 | Elena Emma de Meis |
| Margherita | ~ 1863 | 18 Feb 1883 | Francesco Lupi | |
| Giuseppe Augustino | ~ 1854 | 15 Dec 1880 | Remigia Sperduti | |
| Angela | ~ 1860 | 16 Jul 1877 | Antonio Scarozza | |
| Rosalia | ~ 1847 | 25 Mar 1884 | Gaspare Domenico Bonelli |
The final search was to establish additional children of Salvatore Sapochetti and Anna Maria Cleri. Through indexed records and prior searches the table below indicates that Salvatore Sapochatti and Anna Maria Clara had at least six children.
| Children of Salvatore Sapochetti & Anna Maria Cleri |
Birth | Death | Marriage Date | Spouse |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nazarena Maria | ~ 1879 | 24 Jun 1899 | Filippo Antonio Marcelli | |
| Antonio | ||||
| Erminia Blandina Luisa | 14 Nov 1884 | |||
| Clemintina Emilia | 3 Jan 1887 | 30 Jun 1887 | ||
| Giovannia Francesco | 29 Aug 1889 | 5 Apr 1897 | ||
| Maria Flavia | 11 Oct 1892 | 15 Apr 1972 | 4 Dec 1912 | Riccardo Chialastri |
| Angelo Luigi Nazzareno | Jul 1882 | 24 Aug 1891 |
The current conclusion that can be inferred from the data is Pietro Milani is cousin to Anna Maria Sapochetti, wife of Riccardo Chialastri. Re-visiting the Lupi name, the initial table identified Umberto’s father as Francesco Lupi and his cousin as Pietro Milani. No indexed record for Umberto Lupi was found, but one could infer that his father is Francesco Lupi from his immigration record. Francesco married Margherita Sapochetti, and thus he is a cousin as well to Maria Sapochetti. No additional link to Antonio Coluzzi or Alessandro was uncovered.
