Origin and settlement of Vaninetti surname at Sacco Inferiore
In my research on the origins of this surname, I did not found difficulties because the past is available to people living close to us. It is possible to find it in their language, in the older people memory and especially in the trades, that distinguished individuals and families by the work done in the past.
The immediate, is apparently at hand, is not so understandable and accessible as it should be. These data, historical facts, the included informations on Vaninetti families, are of public domain and not conclusive, but a starting point. The questions that I addressed to the past are moved from simple curiosity about the birth of surnames, their variation with the migration of peoples, the scribes, and by deliberated ethnic and political system to make themselves unknown. An example comes from the political side of the military adventure of Venice Republic in Valtellina: this suggests the change of the name Veneti (inhabitants of Veneto region) into Vaninetti. After the Visconti defeat at the Delebio battle in 1435, it was not convenient to be recognized. In my research I feel fortunate to have had access to the memories of relatives and elders who, in confidence, indicated Sacco Inferiore as the first refuge of Veneto inhabitants migration, who originated our relationship.
These were people coming from the Veneto region who had settled in our area between the Fifteen and Sixteen century. According to older informants, they were hirelings called Taparin.It can be assumed that their coming was due to causes such as expansion wars of the Serenissima. Morbegno togheter with Valgerola, were the lands further to the North of Europe, conquered and subjected, for a brief period, to Venice.
The craft practiced by these people with their typical saw, was highly qualified, acquired and tested with the construction of ships planking when the Serenissima Republic of Venice was the mistress of seas.
The name comes from the job that Taparin were exercising: they were specialists in cutting and squaring trunks with a common hatchet.
In the archaic Valgerola jargon are called “tapadùùr” or “tapa cantir” those carvers who sharpen with a cut tool: sügherin/Squartun (typical hatchets) the tree trunks, to obtain beams and fornitures.
Moreover, these migrants, were masters of another special and innovative technology unknown in our valley, which gave them the opportunity to obtain axis from tree trunks with an instrument called “trentin”, a tool at infinite cut.
These were called “rasegoch” (men good in sawing trunks with toothed blades). It was an innovative technology at the time, expanded to the whole Valtellina.
My family was called “the taparin”, maybe in some way were the founders of Vaninetti surname.
They could also be common migrants in search of richer market for their craft: Valgerola was an important territory and rich of woods and probably, during the period of conquest they got knowledge of that.
At Sacco Inferiore the Vaninetti branch with the family nickname Taparin, was distinguished in the following families: Stefen Tugn Petui -, Gianin - Magrin, Bernacao - Pupù, - March - Caliment - Striùn the latter descended to the plain of Brugo and Regoledo. The family that most appealed to the arrival of the Venetians and resident at Sacco Inferiore was the one of Vaninetti called Trentin happily married to the so-called Trenta.
They were related families, married off at Sacco Inferiore and known to me. Householders were: Vaninetti Antonio (Tugn - Taparin) class 1872, Vaninetti Raffele my father Stefen Celestin 1896 the late Stefano 1848, Vaninetti Tobia (Magrin) 1916, Vaninetti Primo (Gianin) Taparin 1920, Vaninetti Giovanni (Gianin) Taparin 1893, Vaninetti Fermo (1899). Questioned at various times, all agreed in stating that their grandparents were remembering, a hundred years before, that Sacco Inferiore was exlusively inhabited by Vaninetti families. The progeny spread from this place in various branches of families all over the territory of Cosio Valtellino Municipality.
Instead, the actual origin of these families surname now spread all over the world, according to Primo Vaninetti, depositary of ancient notations of Gianin family, comes from a changed transcription that transformed the surname Venet in Vaninetti.
Collecting this informations concerning the initial moments of such total establishment of these people, I asked me a question: how was it possible to take this kind of possession?
I found the answer in the trades, in the memory of elders, in the dialect words that come from that time till the present days and in the history of Sacco Inferiore.
From the amount of papers and important figures that determined the junction with Cosio, it turns out that the population of the time was determined and numerous, well established in the territory, owner of lands and houses still existing that reveal quality and taste of those who lived in.
The answer can be only this: a few decades after the union with Sacco Superiore, in 1456, the population of valley was affected by plague which from the valley around Bergamo reached the Bitto Valley.
In 1513 was again striked by the plague, in 1525 there was the dukes invasion and Sacco which has sided with them, was sacked by the Grisons.
These tragedies with diseases, wars and lootings prostrated so much the population that was not even possible to cultivate the land. The few who escaped preferred to emigrate to Rome, Naples, Palermo and to other places, it is evidenced by the offers for fornitures, paintings and icons of Saints prayed in every church of the Valley.
From the archiv of Sacco parish, besides testimonies of those villagers who migrated, there is a record about a priest Vaninetti from Sacco Inferiore who in 1700 emigrated to America and contributed to the founding of Boston city.
Wars and pestilence had forced the people of Sacco Inferiore and Superiore to abandon lands and houses.
Even the magnificent home of the Costa, famous for manufacturing of wine and walnut oil, became an hospital for plague victims.
So it was for the big holes in the walls of the promontory colèr near by Sacco.
Maybe the Veneti took advantage of it, with their qualified and unknown craft of the trentin saw, since every innovation was a good business, encouraging successfully and with fortune the settlement of that population at Sacco.
At Sacco Inferiore existed also a family called Antonioli: for the record, together with Balbi family, were the only ones to inhabit the district. The Antonioli family, even having crowned its marriage with 12 children, did not have enough luck like the Vaninetti one, and went extinct.
Each of us Vaninetti, I’m sure! carries faded memories of his or her ancestors and arcaic life. Some of us has certainly achived the success of a better life in countries far from Sacco.
I appeal to them to enrich the origin and the history of this relationship so enterprising that has been able to reach successfully our time.
Those who would like, may report, using this tool or other means, their belonging to the family, or tell their story to let them actually enter in the Vaninetti legend.
It could be considered a visit to these places of the country full of history, with real images still preserved in the ancient dwellings of Sacco Inferiore, of Bona Lombardi, of Homo Salvadego, of Mill of Dosso, with contradas that contains frescoes and relics of ancient memory, that bring to life our ancestors.
Following these reports, written and illustrated in the book titled SACCO (Stories of Valtellina) I will summarize in this web site by entering the name of all Vaninetti around the world that I was able to list.
Certainly many are missing, but those who will have the opportunity to read the writings, may be list in turn with new names and enrich their relationship.
