Palazzo con Cortile degli Imperato<br />

L’edificio, al cui <strong>in</strong>gresso campeggia lo stemma<br />

dei Ferraioli, appartenne a quel ramo <strong>del</strong>la<br />

famiglia che fa capo a un Gio. Nicola, figlio di<br />

Andrea, vissuto alla f<strong>in</strong>e <strong>del</strong> 1500.<br />

Probabilmente, <strong>in</strong> epoca seicentesca, il cortile<br />

fu abitato dalla famiglia dei fratelli Domenico e<br />

Geronimo Imperato provenienti da Ravello.<br />

Geronimo era uno “speziale di medic<strong>in</strong>a”, cioè<br />

un farmacista, mentre Domenico era Notaio.<br />

A lui si devono moltissimi atti, redatti nel periodo<br />

<strong>del</strong>la peste <strong>del</strong> 1656.<br />

Questa famiglia risedette a Sant’Egidio per circa<br />

un secolo, poi, i registri parrocchiali non recano<br />

più traccia <strong>del</strong>la loro presenza.<br />

Build<strong>in</strong>g with the Imperato Courtyard<br />

The build<strong>in</strong>g ,whose entrance displays the Ferrajoli<br />

coat of arms, belongs to the branch of the family<br />

led by Giovanni Nicola, son of Andrea. (end of the<br />

1500s). Dur<strong>in</strong>g the 1600s the courtyard was probably<br />

home of the brothers Domenico and Geronimo<br />

Imperato from Ravello.<br />

Geronimo was a pharmacist while Domenico was a<br />

public notary. Many acts dur<strong>in</strong>g the period of the<br />

plague <strong>in</strong> 1656 are attributed to him.<br />

This family resided <strong>in</strong> Sant’Egidio for nearly a century,<br />

after which, the Parish registers showed no<br />

trace of their presence.
