Other guilties

May because exasperated to narrative context but we must think certainly inherent to competitive reality is this document which attests fierce rivalry: “Most Blissful President. Stefano Avete of Napoli city silver maker old 65 years and Nicola from Rome old 24 shows to Your Lordship that he is form one year exiled by Rome for Tribunal of Monsignor Governor and so that is persecution of his concurrent who has fright that he could take gain, and he doesn’t know that he has mistaken nothing. Therefore he implores Your Lordship that you can delete this punish of exile, and that you can let that he has for prison Rome, for reproof his innocence or receive punish when he will be guilty, so that he can help his wife and his sons by now with extreme necessity for this persecution, and if Your Lordship won’t give pardon for he implores, and order for charity to Monsignor Governor is let not  charge again for two month so he can goes back in Rome for take his wife and family, and take money for debt count, and after go away and obey always orders of Your Lordship.” Also minor centres are enclosed among dynamic matter of law, therefore Priverno, a small town on Monti Lepini has one his representative among Roman tribunal, a document says: “Most Illustres and most Reverend President. Antonio Dionitio jeweller form Piperno most Devote servant of Your Lordship most Illustres shows that in cause around hurt that has given Silvestro Bolli and Basilio his brothers and other under Peace arch, one must examine other indications given by document of notary this cause, and prisoner above mentioned Basilio he implores Your Lordship most Illustres so that the truth remains nobody gives acts of process to Basilio, until witnesses don’t are in this process, and for this motive send commissary to Priverno, because the adversaries are rich persons and that before are condemned guilty.” Artisan version of justice rests balance and takes needle and thread; at a very consumed document an embroider maker presents a charge: “Most Illustres and most Reverend Monsignor. Giovanni Brandi embroider maker devout servant of Your Lordship most Illustres with humble shows that two years he made some work to Girolamo and Marco Tullio brothers  form Narni embroider makers, that were som of scudoes then and more although he has made question for have his monies it not was possible, and he has necessity he asked around these embroider, and they tool that they haven’t, and that they must pawn a jacket satin because he has need money and he pawn it; Now these documents are very convincing in Tribunal of Your Lordship most Illustres the mentioned adversaries who don’t satisfy have deleted charge with excuse that he has pawn this jacket. For most Illustres Monsignor this isn’t criminal cause, but alone civil…”. A second embroider entered to Roman justice: “Most Illustres and most Reverend Lord. Roman Vittorio Albertini, embroider maker was charged by Camillo master cap maker some months are that he has hurt during fight for a woman. They were rival because everybody want marry hers and she was married by this charged. After this hurt they have made peace as charger says in this charge. Vittorio has married this woman, and implores humbly Your Lordship most Illustres want deleted this charge and he will receive for Your Lordship most Illustres”. Also embroider sometime have some problem with most Illustres Lordship, in fact this happened with an Ottavio. Most Blissful President. Ottavio embroider shows to Lordship most Illustres that he have made every job for a bride of son of most Illustres Lord Marzio Colonna, and never he has been satisfied and to servant are remain alone debt, for artisans for matter which has took for embroider, and also helpers, and for doesn’t satisfy this Lord, he can’t satisfy neither other. He implores Your Sanctity that wants order Monsignor Governor that is made not charge again”. For tailoring not must lack a tailor, who makes an anomalous request: “Most Illustres and most Reverend Lord Marco Radagi tailor resident in Sola place most humble servant of Your Lordship most Illustres shows that he has a son with name Gaspare, who without agree  he has gone away by his father and even disobedient, and therefore I want that he is shut up in prison of Saint Francis to Ripa for supply Your Lordship most Illustres that you order prison and correction…”. Also kitchen, beyond pots, also a voice and we close this chapter with a cook. A request at 1449 at 5^th march a request given to pope Niccolò 5^th for pardon to cook of Prospero Colonna: “John Dwaes priest of Osnaburg dioceses familiar with Prospero Colonna, deacon and cardinal of church Saint George to Velabro shows that while he writing and he set in some set of home of mentioned cardinal, a guy Conrad Swab priest of Mainz dioceses, and cook of this cardinal, he with violence and with impetus took him and he has thrown to down and he was knifed to back, therefore he shown major for pain this place  and same Conrad he took with violence and he beat same Conrad and he beat skin of head until blood for hurt, and Conrad confirms it and peace twice have agree. Rome 5^th march 1449.
