Publication of the Craco Society No. 4 August 2008 The 1830 CATASTI ONCIARI for Craco Background The Catasti Onciari are among the most important sources for the study of the social and economic history of Southern Italy. Until mid-18th century the ancient catasti were evaluations of the possessions of the citizens and the revenue of their activities, to establish the amount of taxes due under this kind of fiscal levy that was called "battaglione". However, it was possible for the Universitates (the municipalities) to pay taxes with a simpler method, called "gabella" which was basically a tax on consumer goods. For this reason until 1740only a minority of municipalities chose to pay taxes with the "battaglione" method, and for many places there are no ancient catasti. However all this changed with a law issued by Charles II Bourbon on 4 October 1740, ordering the catasto system for the whole kingdom. In the following two years 1741 and 1742 the Regia Camera della Sommaria gave out instructions on how to make these catasti, and on 28 September 1742 the final ordnance was to deliver the catasto fiscal census within four months. Over ten years later many "universitates" had not accomplished the job, so the king sent his Commissioners in May 1753 to close the works where the municipalities had not been able to do the catasto by themselves. The result was a kind of census of all the population of Southern Italy with all their ages, profession and property, including houses and lands with extension and boundaries, big animals (horses, cows, oxen, donkeys, sheep, goats), debits, rents, credits. A kind of Domesday book, that each universitas (municipality) had to make out in two copies, one to be kept at the universitas for further updates, the other to be sent to Naples to the Regia Camera della Sommaria, the central tax authority of the Kingdom. Since then, many of the copies that were held locally have been destroyed or delivered to province archives. The copies that were sent to Naples are now kept in a special section of the Italian National Archives. In subsequent years additional Catasti were conducted and took different formats. For researchers they serve to help locate ancestors in the town and provide some insight into their life. The 1830 Craco Catasti A photographic copy of the 1830 Catasti that is in the Craco town archives was presented to The Craco Society in June 2008 on a group visit to the town. Although only the first volume exists it contains records for the surnames beginning with letters A-M providing 272 images with details about property owners. Additionally, on these records are names of other individuals inhabiting the town who were involved in transactions with the property owner either from a transfer or rent. In totality there are 705 names of individuals on the records. Some are duplications representing individuals owning more than one piece of property. The document is in ledger form with preprinted columns and headings to record items that were tabulated in the records. At the top of a page was a handwritten name for the property holder in alphabetical sequence by surname. This heading line also contains the first name and other details 1 Publication of the Craco Society No. 4 August 2008 to identify the individual. Below that line are preprinted headings that identify the location of the property, describe the property, other tangible assets, and values. In the example below, the record for Pasquale LoCaso, illustrates the heading and tabulated columns identifying the individual and information about him; a shepherd (pastore), a small land owner (piccolo), residing in the Santa Lucia section of town. Records for larger property owners contain more rows of entries for each piece of property as can be seen in the example below. In the extreme right hand column (MOTIVI) names of other individuals appear with a designation of a transaction. 2 Publication of the Craco Society No. 4 August 2008 Accessing the 1830 Craco Catasti An alphabetical index listing the names that appear on each record was compiled.
