The Quilietti Family

The story of a Scots Italian family

Brattesani Zanre Zaccarini Becci Coffrini Landini connections

It seems during my research on the Scots- Giulianotti lines that most of the branch came from Valdena in the Comune just to the south of Borgo Val Da Tora in the Parma Region of Emilia Romanga in northern Italy.

Understandably there were many social interactions with families in the region and we see many branches of the same families intertwining into a great big jigsaw puzzle. Connected surnames with the Giulianotti families who emigrated to Scotland are many but I will start below

Giulio GIULIANOTTI married Rosa Brattesani. This marriage is the link in our family chain.. Rosa was born in nearby Vorno. Her sister Valentina Brattesani married my Great Grandfather Emilio Quilietti.

This Giulianotti line is traced back to c 1760 where Biagio Giulianotti married Margherita Zaccarini. They had nine children of whom four or five died in early infancy. Two main Giulianotti lines. Domenico and Antonio.

Domenico Giulianotti line

Their Son Domenico Giulianotti 1787-1867 married Maria Caterina Victoria Dellanza 1801-1860 on 11th October 1818 in nearby San Vincenzo. Many of their children died in early infancy. The surviving children of this line mainly remained in Italy, although one branch ended up in Dundee, Scotland. It is easy to see whilst researching into these families how you can get mixed up with so many Maria’s.

ANGELO MARIA GIULIANOTTI 1819-1820

ANGELO MARIA GIULIANOTTI 1822

MARIA GIULIANOTTI 1824-1824

ANNA MARIA GIULIANOTTI 1825

LUIGI GIULIANOTTI 1832 married Maria Fugaccia 1823-1890.

Their daughter Francesca Maria Giulianotti 1862-1941 married DOMENICO ANTONIO ZANRE‘. Domenico Antonio Zanrè was born in 1858 in Valdena. His gravestone has 1857 listed as his birth year, but his Birth Certificate, indicates he was born in 1858. Domenico was tall, and known as “Gambung” due to his long legs.

This line through Maria Clementina Giulianotti and Giuseppe Zanre’ settled for the part in Dundee in Scotland. Their family

Angela Maria Zanre’ was born in 1912 in Dundee. In 1938, she married Luigi Becci. She died in Stirling in 2014

Giuseppe was born in Valdena in 1913. He married Emilia Soave who had also been born in Italy. It looks like they lived in Aberdeen for a while then off to Dundee where they ran a fish and chip shop. He was interred during WW2 and shipped to Canada. He died in 2009 in Dundee, Scotland.

Giulia Zanre’ was born in 1916 in Dundee. She married Giuseppe Fugassio in 1948 in Dundee. His family were from the same region in Italy. Still to trace this line.
