Finally Igino, of whom we have photo evidences , but we didn’t find the grave; he built the Giustiniani Villa in Luciana at the end of 19th century in an elevated position over the village, at the beginning of the road to Santo Regolo. From the tale of the still living nephew Romanella Gazzarini , he fell in love with the “apotheke keeper” of Fauglia who was graduated but not of noble origin. It disliked to the family, and so Igino went and live to Leghorn for a period in which he built the Villa and bought 7 farms, starting a flourishing agriculture activity. At his first wife death, he married Duilia Gazzarrini. He died in 1958, and not having sons he divided one’s property between his three nephews. Madame Romanella is still inhabiting the Villa with her two sons. The graves of the Francesco relatives are in Leghorn, while those of the Giovambattista relatives are in the Luciana Cemetery , in the chapel surrounded by the shield with the Castle with three towers and the Eagle flying over, which keeps the bodies of relatives, dead in distant places (Leghorn, Calci, Incisa Valdarno, Lucca, Firenze). It is noticeable that the sons of Giovambattista and Francesco attended the Noble Mondragone College in Frascati, which was active from the 1865 to the 1953, respectively Enrico in 1867, Igino in 1874, Leonardo in 1870 and Vincenzo in 1870, as it results from the catalogue of past students. In Luciana chapel they are kept too also Francesco Giustiniani (born in Fauglia on the 20.91893 and dead in Santo Regolo on the 10.3.1945) who was Podestà (Mayor) of Fauglia from the September of 1929 to the July of 1944. He married Vittoria Salvi, born in Vinci on the 7.101894 and dead in Pisa on the 1.6.1954. Francesco and Maria were sons of Adolfo. An other Francesco has one’s grave, born in Leghorn on the 12.4.1882 and dead in Pisa on the 29.10.1926. Finally Brizio Giustiniani, born in Leghorn on the 22.2.1881 and dead in Calci on the 21.7.1954. These two last were probably sons of Vincenzo Giustiniani and Ottavia Michon. Both Brizio than Francesco, who became Mayor, were also President of the Charity Company: Brizio from the 1917 to the 1919, Francesco from the 1937 to the 1943. From Danielel Cianchi, after his archive research in Fauglia we received: The Charity Companies were established by the municipalities with the Law Nr. 753 of the 1862 year with the aim to administrate the properties dedicated to the Poor , managing the public institutions formerly ruled by different criterions . With the law Nr. 6792 of the 1890 year about public institutions for benefit they defined more strictly finalities , making more economic administrations and concentrating the alms institution in Charity Companies. From the fact that it was up to them the Opere Pie Administration, who were subdued to concentration after the above cited law of the 1890 year, it remains a trace in the alleged archive because we find often together the Acts of Charity Congregation if the Fauglia Municipality as those of the Opere Pie Masi, Mori, Malenchini and Bellini; these institutional events leant towards the choice to treat such documentation as a single one, remarking time by time all the particularities which distinguish every single archive unities. Following the order , the identified Charity Congregation presidents were : Giovan Battista Ferri (from the 1913 to the 1915 and from the 1928 to the 1931), Raffaello Guerrucci ( in 1921), Baldino Baldassarri (from the 1933 to the 1936) , Francesco Giustiniani (from the 1937 to the 1943), Armando Abeniacar (from the 1945). The activity of the Giustiniani family in Fauglia was mostly engaged in agriculture. In Luciana Igino Giustiniani built the Villa at the end of 19th century and he bought 7 farms. The descendants detain in care the property till the 1963, after 5 years from the Marquoise death. In Santo Regolo Adolfo Giustiniani passed the property to his sons Francesco and Maria , acquired in 1887 and then sold in 1922. The property was composed by two big plot of land and a smaller one, , beneath the owner Villa with the park and linked properties: westward the road to Luciana, the country houses of Sarignano and Gronchiglia with the fields occupied by vineyards and corn; the plot of land of Casini , seeded with corn and vineyard and a forest part at the Poggio alla Guardia. The little plot , east ward the road to Luciana from Santo Regolo, was cared as olive trees cultivation, pasture and market garden. While in the Granduke Villa farm of Santo Regolo whcich the Giustiniani detained for a certain period after that the Marquoise Ggiovambattista in 1887 bought it from the powerful jewish family Abdurahaman , at the end of 18th century Mariti described the manufacturing to date: dyeing plants , stuffs and clothes factories. The property passed from Adolfo than to Francesco Giustiniani , Podestà of Fauglia. Not having sons, the farm passed to the sons of his daughter Maria. The properties was comprehensive of 13 farms for a sum of 160 hectares of ground, from which they produced corn and oil. In Leghorn Giovambattista and Francesco Giustiniani managed the Castelli and Giustiniani Company , registered in London, which failed in 1851 . To this company they joined Domenico Castelli, his brother Michele, and an other Chios citizen strictly related to Castelli family, Michele Reggio. Giovambattista lived at Nr.10 Casone street , now Cairoli street, as we can achieve from a contract reprinted on the Lenzi and Caforio text book. The Casone Fortress was a reference from a fiscal point of view of the commercial activities: those ones which were founded beneath the fortress had a minor duty in respect of these inside the walls which were connected to the harbour activity.   Editorial archives Associazione Culturale La Rondine - P.I. 90030400502 Piazza della Chiesa, 7 - 56040 S.
