The conversion and marriage of a jew in XVIIth century, at the village of Strigno, in the trentine Valsugana

Searching for my roots at the village of Strigno, of the names of my direct ancestors, Boninsegna and Barezotto or Barizzotti, but also of all their relatives, as the noble Lords of Strigno, the Castelrotto, and many other relevant families of the region, under the jurisdiction of Castle Ivano, many times related in the times to my familiar ancestry history, I found this peculiar documents at the parish church archives microfilmed by the mormon church, reading them in one of the hundreds of Family Centers all around the world....

As a Domino Giovanni Paolo Alpruni called Bressanini married a Domina Margarita Bertagnoni, a far relative through the Barezzotto family, as a descendant of Nob. Dr. Roberto Barezzoto, Doctor in Law, I searched documents about Bressanini family...

I found Bressaninis were not originally from Strigno,  descendants of an inhabitant, Domino Paulo Bressanini, the "speciaro" of Strigno (in those times a government concession), that married a lady Spadoletto from Strigno. Their daughter Orsola is the one who married a converse jew from Padua named Alpruni.

So we found in the Church book of marriages, at the date of august 24 of 1680 the act of the marriage, in latin, of "Carolus  Petrus Gaudentius Alpruni Pattavinus judey.. ani prdo. ante baptezato" with "Ursula q. D. Pauli Bressanini Strigni" (q. is the abreviature for quondam and D. for Domino)
what means: "Carlo Pietro Gaudenzio Gardumi from Padova jew baptized before on the year up indicated" , and "Orsola daughter of the deceased Sir Paolo Bressanini of Strigno"

At the index of the Book of marriages it's said, in italian "Alpruni, Carlo - judeo- che poco prima fu battezato, ai 24 Agosto 1680 si sposo con Orsola Bressanini" (Alpruni, Carlo - jew- that shortly before was baptized... etc.)

We found that previous baptism with the date of june 30 of 1680 telling us the following in italian, full of abreviatures, as was styled :

Adi 30 giugno 1680

Hebreo fatto christiano                                                                      Calimán nato hebreo

"Carlo Pietro Gaudenzio Alprun nato hebreo est nome di Caliman Padoano doppo haber servizio in casa delli hebrei qui di Strigno cualque tempo...."

and after some other text, where is mentioned "adorata la judaica perfidia" a clear proof of the religious intolerance of those times, came the name of the illustrious godparents:

"fu levato del S. Fonte dall'Illmo. Sigr. Pietro Gasparo Buffa di Scurelle (missed) del Sermo. Duca di Lorena, Gobernator di S. Maesta  Cesarea Leopoldo Pro. del Austria
Matrina fu la Molte. Illre. et Clarma. Sigra, Orsola C. Rotto moglie del Molt'. Illre et Clarmo. Sigre. Dr. Gio. Battista C. Rotto Fiscale Cesareo alli Confini di Italia."


We can translate that as:

On june 30, 1680

Hebrew done christian                                                                         Caliman born hebrew

"C.P. G.A.  born hebrew with the name of Caliman from Padova, after being on service in the house of the hebrew here in Strigno... ..."adored the jewish perfidy"

"was taken to the baptismal font by the Illustrious Sigr Pietro Gasparo Buffa ..... of the Serene Duke of Lorena, Gobernor of his Imperial Majesty Leopold I of Austria
The godmother was the Very Illustrious and Brilliant Lady Orsola Castelrotto wife of the Very Illustrious and Brilliant Doctor Sir Giovanni Battista Castelrotto, Imperial Prosecutor at the Frontiers of Italy"

Notes 
Pietro Gasparo Buffa was Imperial noble as indicates the treatment of Illustrious, he was the Baron of Castellalto, and Gobernor of the jurisdiction. His complete official name was Barone Pietro Gasparo Buffa di Haiden, Monte Giglio e Castellalto, or Freiherr Peter Caspar von Haiden, Lilienberg und Castellalto, in german.

Doctor in Law, Sir Giovanni Battista Castelrotto was of a rancid lineage of that family, being descendant also of family Filippini von Thun and her wife so, being descendant also of the Roccabruna family.

As we can see marriages between jews and christians were admitted after a conversion, and seems to be at that times were no major prejudices in that region at least... 

The descendance of the marriage Alpruni Bressanini took after the name Bressanini,  and linked again with some other relatives of mine, as Nob. Silvestro de Castelrotto (descendant of the Barezzoto family) of the branch of that family that were the hereditary "regolanos" of Strigno, a charge in other communities was elective.
