To us about the origin of forefather Caputo, that of Corrado of Antioch, grandson of
Frederick II, reported by many Institutes of Heraldry, History of Naples and Sicily,
we always had our doubts. We did not want to believe with certainly the proper
elements of science of heraldry and genealogy, since our primary goal was to detect
with proofs of the origin of this noble family. Counting of scientific texts, several
sources of History and had access to certain definitive information, we
extrapolated, strengthened and integrated into the origins of some other families
who belonged to Caputo families to meet the founder of our House. Please note
that our investigations were complete and productive. The surveys were not limited
to the Ecclesiastical Archives and the Historical Archives, but obtained clues,
traces, confirmations, surprises and curiosity, the names of our fathers and our
mothers in the meticulous recording of the Vatican Library and the one from the
Royal Library of Turin, which is a department, not open to the public, but only to
scholars. We were able to photocopy material of Antioch from the original
documents.
In order to be able to trace the directed descendant, I had to ask the aid of the
Heraldic Institute “Heraldic Coccia” in Florence and “Ancestor Ltd.” of England,
the Heraldic Institute of Milan and finally the Center Heraldic Studies of Varese.
Although a writer may work in private, a writer is never alone. To write is to
communicate with other people: we write letters to share our lives with friends. We
write business reports to influence managers' decisions. We write essays to convert
readers to our vision of the truth. Without other people, we would have little reason
to write. Just as we wish to touch people through our writing, we have been
influenced by the writing of others.
Will Rogers's famous quip, “All I know is just what I read in the papers,” has truth.
We learn many things indirectly through the written word, from current and
historical events to the collisions of subatomic particles and of multinational
corporations. Even when we learn from direct experience, our perceptions and
interpretations are influenced by the words of others. And though we may write
private notes and diary entries to ourselves to sort out plans, thoughts, or feelings,
we are nevertheless reacting to experiences and concepts and situations that come
from our relationships with others.
Our publishing may be subject to critics or applause it depends on whichever side
the commentators are on. For all criticism is based on that equation: knowledge +
taste ‗ meaningful judgment. The key word here is meaningful. People, who have
strong reactions to a work, and most of us do, but don’t possess the wider erudition
that can give an opinion heft, are not critics. Nor are those who have tremendous
erudition but lack the taste or temperament that could give their judgment
authority in the eyes of other people, people who are not experts.
