Summary
Archival research for this work has been conducted in four archives: the Archivio Segreto Vaticano (ASV) in the Vatican; the Archivio di Stato di Potenza (ASP), in Potenza, the regional capital of Basilicata; the Archivio Storico del Banco di Napoli (ASBN) in Naples; and the Archivio di Stato di Napoli (ASN), also in Naples. A few manuscripts have been consulted in the Biblioteca Nazionale di Napoli (BNN). Microfilms have been obtained of several documents in the Archivo General de Simancas (AGS), Spain.
In the Vatican Archives I have consulted the Relationes ad limina from the records of the Sacra Congregazione del Concilio (the reports to Rome of the episcopal visits prescribed by the Council of Trent) for the three dioceses that comprised the fiefs of the Caracciolo Brienza. These all begin in the last two decades of the sixteenth century and are:
vol. 177 Satriano-Campagna
vol. 185 Capaccio
vol. 491 Marsico Nuovo
In the Potenza Archive I have consulted the series Notai di Potenza, Intendenza di Basilicata, and Corporazioni religiose. Of the Notai, I have seen all the extant registers of the notaries residing in the four fiefs of the Caracciolo Brienza, plus the registers of the notaries of neighboring villages who had drawn acts for the family.
