Archive in Florence? Wuere the following book can be found?

--------
NOTE (*) Debates on HERALDRY and HISTORY are intended to be related
to genealogy, not general discussions on those subjects. For example,
Heraldry: you might be interested to know the meaning of the Coat of
Arms of your family or to translate the family motto from Latin.
History: you found out that an ancestor of yours participated to a
Crusade or was the Bishop of a specific town. So you want to know
more on that Crusade or on Bishops in that town.

to various aspects of Genealogy Research. To avoid crossposts it is
recommended to take advantage of those groups when applicable. In
particular the following subjects are NOT forbidden here, but have a

Pizzopapero di Sopra. Any info about Francesco XYZ who left Italy for
USA in 1847?
