History
The brooch comes from the family of the Knight of Labour Mr. Monti, who owned an estate in Bertinoro, a municipality in the province of Forlì-Cesena in Emilia-Romagna (Italy). The Villa takes its name from his wife. My great-aunt named Preziosa worked at the villa and, over the years, had formed a sincere bond and friendship with the Monti family, in particular with the wife who, before her death, gave her the brooch which my great-aunt later gave to me. The Monti family vacationed (one of their many holiday spots) in Asiago (Vicenza/Italy) at the Hotel Croce Bianca, frequented by famous stars from all over the world. They also had a house on Via Corso Trieste in Rome (Italy), near the home of the famous tenor Beniamino Gigli. ... Beniamino Gigli (historical data: Recanati, March 20, 1890 – Rome, November 30, 1957) was an Italian tenor and actor, one of the most famous opera singers of the 20th century. In Bertinoro, at Mr. Monti’s property, Gioacchino Murat passed through, in French Joachim Murat, a French general, Grand Duke of Berg and Clèves (reigned 1806-1808) and King of Naples (reigned 1808-1815) and marshal of the Empire with Napoleon Bonaparte.
With this lifestyle, elegant clothes and important encounters, the brooch was used to adorn the clothes worn, either in its simple use or, the brooch was designed to be applied to evening dresses, with two hooks, or alternatively, attached to the central part of the evening bag, thus adding a touch of elegance and femininity to the outfit.
Nowadays, it could also be used as a hairpin.
This is the story of the brooch’s life and the tale of great-aunt Priscilla.
