PRESENTATION (excerpt)
The edition of "A Trusted: Camillo Monaco "(1927), written by his son, Attilio, documents the story of a patriot in the context of the Risorgimento movement Salento and national, which sought independence and a system of freedom, strongly inspired by the thinking and actions of Joseph Mazzini.
Camillo Monaco (1819-1896), the third son of Pasquale ("gentleman" and owner) and Gaetana waking life, in 1838 he enlisted in the Guard Honor in the Land of Otranto and in 1841 he moved to Naples to attend his legal studies. Once the capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, he entered the great Italian and European ideological conversation, and he began his adventurous story of "reckless liberal Mazzini." On July 6, 1856, in Naples, he married Nicoletta Leanza They had nine children: six boys and three girls. Fascinated by the ideals of freedom and independence, moved from the failed attempt of the brothers Bandiera, he called his first two sons, Attilio and Emilio, Garibaldi was the name of the second-last child, born in 1864, Italy and the daughter born in 1873. Supervised by the Bourbon police, entered the viewfinder Commissioner of measles, which had undertaken a crusade against the bearded ones "in 1850. The family lived in Monaco
Oria, small farming town economically and socially backward, the District of Brindisi. In the city, ruled by a Decurionate, the population was divided into rich landowners or gentry owners, professional civilians, "artisans, farmers and laborers. Two political parties: a traditional supporter of the Bourbon regime and the other oriented toward the new order of things, which identified the "ambitions of Monaco."
a reliable reads like a diary of the human and political Camillo Monaco, rebuilt from the inside - with brought the emotions and family traditions of the writer, the son of the protagonist - with the rationalization and detachment of the historian, but also of the same child is now retired, but was also a citizen of the world. Attilio, then, would fix on the page what William Wordsworth called "emotion recollected in tranquility" (emotion remembered in tranquility): the struggle for independence that had preceded his childhood and whose stories have nourished his youth. The reader of a wait note, however, between the lines, a trembling, veiled sadness at the points where the writer-son can not explain attitudes and behavior, to dispel the shadows to dispel forever terrible doubts and insinuations, as if to justify himself in front of the father - the protagonist of the biography - and in front of the other martyrs of liberty, not to be able to fully understand and to cast full light on the shadows of suspicion. Concerned to illuminate the dark regions that surround her father's life, especially in this difficult period in Naples at the turn of 1848 and 1860, the son biographer guesses, touches the issues, but not silent doubts about the action of his father, silent Instead, the two processes of 1861 and 1870 about the "criminal offenses" occurred in Oria on Easter Sunday, March 31, 1861.
dell'Attendibile shines from reading the profound sense of human solidarity with his father, a member of a noble tradition family and a moment in history, which includes the various experiences that are unique and unrepeatable. The author captures the protagonists in the three cultural value, historical and human, along with the political tension. Camillo Monaco emerges as a key figure in the history of Oria and precious essential link, as an apostle and leader of the republican movement national unity based on "Thought and Action" Mazzini.
proposing to public attention "A Trusted: Camillo Monaco" we wanted to add another missing piece - after that of Sir James Lacaita - that great mosaic of our national history.
This does not mean that the case is resolved Camillo Monaco, because the demand remains: who was really Camillo Monaco? What did he do?
He was, as is apparent from the trial records of 1861:
"the Royal Subeconomo of the Diocese of Oria in fact paid for the industry from 1860 to 1861, the Royal Extraordinary Officer in Torre Santa Susanna, Major Guard N -tional honor and invested the title of Knight of SS.ti Maurice and Lazarus, the Provincial Council, the President of the Congregation of Charity, the Taxman Fondiario [charge which gave Monaco because "profit"]. "
And, in return, he was seen as "feudal lords of the Middle Ages, even [...] King of the country with his court Bravi, order and have carried out violence and crimes against forced vassals?.
Therefore, only a cross-sectional study of the sources could be found to bring out more clearly the figure of Camillo Monaco.
The proposal outlined publishing of his biography by his son, Attilio, enriched Family Tree family of Monaco and the Index of names and places, offering other matter of reflection, is an invitation to broaden and deepen the research.

From page 15 of the book "A reliable"
[In these pages, which do not contain the record of extraordinary events ol'accenno serious convictions, carry only special police persecution and harassment against a trusted, my Father: old things of a lost world, lost in the whirlwind of years, and of which there is no other track in card stock, now saturated with mold and the past, but formidable hands have written and peeled.] Attilio Monaco (pictured right)
