| schantal: Bevilaqua | Előzőleg irtam már a Bevilaqua családról (mint fent látszik), azonban azóta sok új információval gazdagodtam ezzel kapcsolatban. A mai Szlovákia területén élnek leginkább a Bevilaqua leszármazottak. Több helyről több anyagot is kaptam az ezzel kapcsolatos kutatásokról, de nem akar összeállni a kép, sok ellentmondással lehet bennük találkozni. A név eredeti írása Bevilacqua, később hagyták el a "c" betüt. Vannak Bevilacqua paloták Olaszországban, Veronában,Bologna-ban (Palazzo Bevilacqua) és Trento-ban (ma Buonconsiglio kastély. Ha az interneten beírjuk a Bevilaqua nevet, akkor rengeteg anyagot ad ki a régi olasz grófokkal kapcsolatban, de Borsody Bevilaqua Béla nevével is rendszeresen találkozunk. A Wikipédiában is megtaláljuk Őt, igaz csak angol nyelven: Bela Borsody and his family lived the history of Hungary. According to his own account in Víziváros, the first Bevilacqua to visit Hungary was Marchese Alfonso Bevilacqua Conte della Maccastorna in 1676. Marchese Alfonso’s wife, Countess Felicita Andreasi daughter of Marchesi Amorotti Andreasi Da Grado of Ferrara accompanied her husband to visit Prince Ferenc I Rakoczi (1645-76) and Rakoczi's father-in-law, Peter Zrinyi Viceroy of Croatia. The purpose of the visit was social; however, all of these families were vehemently opposed to the Austrian Habsburg domination of Hungary and northern Italy.
In 1699, Marchese Alfonso Bevilacqua and Countess Felicita Andreasi’s son named Nicola (1677-1761) was invited to stay in Hungary by Prince Ferenc Rákóczi II (1676-1735). Nicola’s brother, Morando, was a priest, and was invited to be Racoczi II’s spiritual advisor, confessor, and personal priest. Nicola and Morando stayed in Hungary in the service of Prince Ferenc Rákóczi II assisting him in organizing alliances against the Habsburg Emperor Leopold I. Nicola and Morando fought with Prince Ferenc Rakoczi II during the War of Independence from 1703 until 1711 against the Habsburg Emperor Leopold I. Nicola began the Ramus Hungaricus branch of the Bevilaqua family in 1699. His son was Conte Joannis Petri Bevilaqua born in Selmeczbanya in 1740. The letter “c” was dropped from the Bevilacqua name to make it easier to pronounce in Hungarian.
Nicola managed the production of silver, gold, lead, copper and arsenic for Prince Rakoczi II. At that time, only the nobility was allowed to own and operate mines. Nicola lived at the summit of Calvarienberg Mountain in the Hungarian Ore Mountain range in a castle with an adjacent church. The castle is now used as a fire watch-tower and the town hall. Nicola and his son Joannis Petri were instrumental in establishing an academy of refining and forestry funded by Maria Theresa, Queen of Hungary and Bohemia, Archduchess of Austria, and Roman-German Empress (1717-1780) in 1760. The Academy still maintains a remarkable collection of minerals, and a chemical laboratory while the mines are now the property of the state. The Bevilaqua family was also instrumental in developing a flourishing pottery industry, and a well known tobacco pipes business. They also developed the baths of Vihnye, with springs of iron, lime and carbonic acid, and the baths of Szkleno with springs of sulphur and lime. Béla Borsody Bevilaqua was born in the town of Miskolc in Borsod county, on February 23, 1885. He was the great grandson of Conte Joannis Petri Bevilaqua, who continued the Ramus Hungaricus branch of the Bevilaqua family. Borsody, Bela’s middle name referred to the county in which he was born. Bela’s grand father was also named Bela. There is a musical manuscript from 1833 in the possession of the Hungarian Popular Music Centre, coming from Béla Bevilaqua & Co’s art shop in Breznóbánya.
Béla’s father, Rezső (Rudolf) Bevilaqua studied law in Kecskemét when he was a young gentleman in the early 1870s. He then entered the government service as an administrator in the postal service and was post master general of Upper Hungary. He was born in Léva within Bars county in Upper Hungary in 1849. In 1888, Rezső Bevilaqua moved to Buda with his family in the service of the government. Béla was three years old then, and had two elder sisters. The family first lived at an estate at 44 Iskola utca, but they soon moved to a larger estate on Szagényház utca (today’s Varsányi Irén utca) which has recently been demolished next to number 13 in the historical Víziváros section of Budapest.
Béla's mother was Mária Szentessy, a sister, according to Víziváros, was “the well-known poet” Gyula Szentessy. Their father, Bela Borsody’s grandfather, Daniel Szentessy was one of the globetrotters that Bela Borsody wrote about in his book entitled Regi Magyar Vilagjrok or Hungarian Old World Travellers. Dániel Szentessy (1805, Zemplénszentes – 1895, Nagyvárad) was a sword-forging master. His family ruled the city of Szentes from which his surname is derived szentesi. After the early death of his parents, he was adopted by a Nagyvárad merchant. He completed the Várad Latin school, and studied sword-forging. As a journeyman, he started his wanderings in 1825. The main stations of his fifteen years of travels were the world-famous places of contemporary armoury: Vienna, Innsbruck, Alsace-Lorraine, Flandreau, Sheffield, Bayonne, Cordoba, Toledo, Algiers, Tunis, Damascus, and Istanbul. He returned home to open a workshop in Nagyvárad in 1840. He took part in the 1848 Revolution. He was court-martialed and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment in Munkács Castle. Released in 1851, he lived in Nagyvárad until his death.
A történet elég hitelesnek tűnik, azonban a Rákóczi szabadságharccal
kapcsolatban sehol sem találtam erről megerősítést. B. Bevilaqua Béla
szerint Ő Conte Joannis Petri Bevilaqua leszármazottja. Ami biztos, hogy
B.B. Béla nagyapja Bevilaqua Rezső Rudolf volt, aki 1849.-ben született
Levice-n (Léva) és 1895-ben halt meg Budapesten. Apja Bevilaqua Béla volt,
akinek volt kettő lány testvére is, Hilda és Lenke. Anyja Szentessy Mária
volt. Bevilaqua Bélának egy fia született Yolanda Stauffenberg Perényi
bárónőtől, akit Bevilaqua (Bellino) Bélának hívtak és Amerikába emigrált.
Szlovákiában élő Bevilaquaktól kaptam családfa részleteket és egyéb leírásokat, amelyek nagyon hihetőnek, tényszerűnek tünnek. Ha valakit érdekel emailben át tudom küldeni ezeket.
