The Quilietti Family

Giulianotti, another Italian family, is connected to us via the Brattisani sisters.

The roots of the Giulianotti and Brattisani/Brattesani families are from little hamlets scattered in the valleys of  Parma in Italy.  Their backgrounds would be similar and probably they would have been connected via marriages back home in Italy.

Our Branch of the Brattesani  family  all arrived in Edinburgh with their father Giuseppe in the 1880s.   Joe was a great franchiser and before settling in Edinburgh they had interests in Paris, where their daughter Valentina [Quilietti] Brattisani was born.   Rose Brattesani was also born here in Paris in the year 1871

Rose married Giulio Giulianotti in Edinburgh in St. Mary’s Cathedral  on 18th October 1892.

Their witnesses were another sister, Maria Brattisani and John Fusco, her betrothed,  who were also to be married a few years later.

The Giulianotti family settled in the northern areas of Scotland, firstly in Aberdeen, Dundee and Inverness.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberdeen.  The story goes about Giulio that he entered Scotland via Peterhead on a boat from Italy.  Because of the circumstances of his arrival here he was sent to jail for a short period of time.  But on his release he met up with the various lines of his family in Scotland who had settled in the big cities.  The Giulianotti family originated from Borgo Val di Tora, the same valley as the Brattesani clan.  The families would almost have certainly knew each other’s families back home in Italy.

Giulio Giulianotti at the time of their marriage ran a restaurant at 38 Bread Street, Aberdeen.  His parents were Giuseppe Giulianotti and Rose Zanre.

History does not tell us how this couple met up again in Scotland  but we do know that in 1892 at the time of her wedding Rose lived with Valentina, her elder sister and her now husband Emilio Quilietti at 4 Cranston Street, just off the Royal Mile, Edinburgh. After the wedding Rose left Edinburgh and moved further north and their first son was born in Dundee on 29th November 1894.  His name was Giuseppe Giulianotti.   His children in turn carried on the family businesses as confectioners and ice cream manufacturers and became well established in these northern Scottish cities.

Rose and her  Giulio were to keep in close contact with the Quilietti family in Edinburgh and we know that Giulio was at the deathbed of Emilio Quilietti in the year 1899.

With the tragic death of Emilio and of Valentina 5 years later family ties were cut and the children of both Valentina and Rose were to become strangers, an unfortunate event that would never be re-established, until now.  Angela Giulianotti and Helen Quilietti have now re-united our families.  Thank you Angela.

Rose and Giulio Giulianotti were to have several children, thirteen as remembered by their youngest son Antonio.  We have traced ten to date

Giulio Giulianotti

Giulio Giulianotti, he died shortly after Rosa.

and Rosa Brattisani worked hard and made Aberdeen their new Borgotora.  We know now that they made a good living in confectionery, ice cream and fish and chips.  Rose had maids who helped her with the children.  Their wealth allowed them to return home and this they did on many occasions  to escape the harsh winters that Aberdeen presented.

Rosa Brattisani Giulianotti

Rose kept in very close contact with her surviving sisters and she has left us a wealth of history in the photographs which were handed down to her grandaughter Angela.   Amongst these photos were Brattisani, Fusco, Costella and Quilietti photos.  History in the making.
