HistoryGiovanni Zurolo (or Zurlo) was an Italian feudal lord, count and leader. He descended from one of the most important Neapolitan families from which he owned various lands/fiefdoms in the Kingdom of Naples, the Zurolo (or Zurlo). During the "Dynastic Struggles" between the Angevin and Aragonese families, he sided with the Angevins, remaining faithful to them, for this reason King Alfonso V of Aragon decided to send that of the Terra d'Angri on 24 September 1421. After the dethronement of King Alfonso V of Aragon, ousted by Queen Joanna II of Anjou, Louis III of Anjou was declared the legitimate heir, who to thank the count for his loyalty to the crown, asked Queen Joanna to restore him to his feud. The founder of the convent with adjoining church of the SS. Annunziata of Terra d'Angri (current city of Angri), with notarial deed dated 26 July 1436. In 1438, when King Alfonso, with his army of four thousand men on horseback, moved to occupy the fortress of Angri, the count of Zurolo with a handful of soldiers fought heroically and forced him to stop at the Scafati Bridge, blocking the passage.

Giovanni Zurolo, also called Giovanni Zurlo (*1382 †1440), was count,[1][2] feudal lord and Useful Lord of the Terra d'Angri, Roccapiemonte and other lands of the Kingdom of Naples; already a valiant leader, during the "Dynastic Struggles" including that of the Terra d'Angri on 24 September 1421. With a notarial deed dated 26 July 1436, he was the founder of the convent with the adjoining church of the SS. Annunziata of Terra d'Angri.

History[edit]

Second born son of d. Bernardo Zurolo, and d. Antonella Caracciolo, from whom she inherited the Terra d'Angri, Roccapiemonte and other lands of the Kingdom.

He had brothers and sisters, among whom we remember: Biancamano known as Blanca, Francesco, Salvatore II known as Russillo and Emilia.

He received the title of feudal lord directly from King Louis II of Anjou-Valois and feudal dominion over Angri.

Married d. Dalfina Caracciolo in ca. 1416, daughter of Leonetto and Caterina Filangieri from whom d. Antonella Zurolo (b. 1418 ca.), Countess of Bsistenza who in 1449 (1439) married (Istrum. Notar Giacomo Ferrillo, year 1449) to the Count of Buccino Francesco Caracciolo known as Petricone.[3]

The Battle of the Land of Angri on 24 September 1421[edit]

Giovanni, strenuously defended the Terra d'Angri during the battle of 24 September 1421 from the soldiers of Braccio da Montone (Italian leader, known as Andrea Fortebraccio da Montone) during the aforementioned dynastic struggles, for the succession to the throne of Naples, between Alfonso V of Aragon and Louis III of Anjou, siding in favor of the latter being of the Angevin faction.[4][5][6][7]

Background of the battle[edit]

During the dynastic struggles for the succession to the throne of Naples (see the kingdom of Naples), between Alfonso V of Aragon and Louis III of Anjou, Giovanni Zurolo sided in favor of the latter, in fact in this period the fiefdom of Angri drew many benefits thanks to his loyalty to this dynasty, as his paternal grandfather was already a feudal lord loyal to the dynasty (called like his nephew Giovanni Zurolo known as Giovannello).

Once King Alfonso had taken power in the Kingdom of Naples, he then punished the disobedient feudal lord by sending the famous Italian mercenary leader Andrea Fortebraccio da Montone (also known by the famous title Braccio da Montone), already appointed by him and the queen, to the Land of Angri Joanna II of Anjou, on 21 September 1421, Count of Foggia and Prince of Capua and perpetual general (i.e. edible governor of the entire Neapolitan kingdom).

On 23 September Andrea and King Alfonso visited various Neapolitan locations after which he was instructed by the rulers to attack the fiefdom of Angri governed by Count Giovanni Zurolo, who had not accepted the loyalty of the new sovereign. Braccioforte marched towards the Sarno valley (see Agro Nocerino-Sarnese) with his mercenary army made up of around 12,000 men and, mostly: crossbowmen, foot infantry and knights.

The Battle of the Land of Angri

At dawn on 24 September 1421 the mercenaries headed towards the border of Angri, more precisely towards a bridge in the current city of Scafati (at the time the dominion of the Terra d'Angri, in fact the city of Scafati did not yet exist), the bridge was called Pons Sarni (which exists and still overlooks the Sarno river in that locality).

The feudal lord's plan envisaged a defensive fight in this area with the help of the armed forces of his brother Francesco Zurolo, count of Nocera de' Pagani and Montoro, and then also being assisted by the military aid of count Muzio Attendolo Sforza of Cotignola who it should have arrived a few days later, since it was a fairly easy area to defend and the banks of the river already allowed excellent defense by those attacked. Giovanni Zurolo waited with the local militia near the Angrese border but help from Francesco and Sforza never arrived. Being betrayed by his brother he had to fight alone against an overwhelming enemy army, retreating immediately after Braccio's first attack to the fief of Angri and instead headed towards the city, after a few hours and a few enemy assaults it was invaded and sacked.

The news of the military defeat of Angri spread quickly among the various inhabitants of the lands of the Agro and the nearby city of Nocerina, the looting and destruction was a warning to the locals to guarantee obedience towards the new Aragonese dynasty. Braccio, after taking Angri, left a group of his soldiers under the command of a captain governor, a certain Luca de Triccia, since, in the evening, he headed to conquer Castellammare di Stabia with the rest of the army.

Various versions on the battle of the Land of Angri

According to ancient and official sources, Count Giovanni Zurolo, after having briefly discussed against the enemy army at the Pons Sarni, headed with his soldiers to the Oppido Angarium (fortress city of Angri) and fought with the local citizens, a militia and various improvised leaders until the end of the clash, in fact after a few hours of various enemy assaults they surrendered but the city was not spared by the attackers.

Other sources instead speak of a retreat by Zurolo and abandonment of his lands at the mercy of his enemies, from which the Angrese citizens had to defend themselves alone and against an overwhelming army.[8][9]

Giovanni Zurolo is reinstated by Queen Giovanna II of Anjou[edit]

After the dethronement of King Alfonso V of Aragon, ousted by Queen Joanna II of Anjou, Louis III of Anjou was declared the legitimate heir, who to thank the count for his loyalty to the crown, asked Queen Joanna to restore him to his feud.[10]

[edit]

He was the founder of the former convent of the Dominican preaching fathers, with the adjoining church of the SS. Annunziata della Terra d'Angri (in Piazza Annunziata), on a previous chapel also dedicated to the SS. Annunziata. The notarial deed drawn up before the major church (later Collegiate) of Angri was executed on 26 July 1436.[11][12][13]

The Battle of the Land of Angri in June 1438[edit]

At the beginning of June 1438, when King Alfonso, with his army of four thousand men on horseback, moved to occupy the fortress of Angri, Count Zurolo with a handful of soldiers fought heroically and forced him to stop at the Ponte di Scafati (Scafati brige), blocking his path. In these bloody battles, which lasted for days, between the partisans of the Angevin and Aragonese factions, the young captain Angelo Concilio, of the Casato de' Concilij of Angri, heroically lost his life.

The reinstatement of the Angri fiefdom to the Zurolo counts[edit]

In the period in which Giovanni strategically distanced himself from Angri, his brother Francesco made use of the special prerogatives and graces that he had deserved with his surrender, he worked hard at the court of King Alfonso so that the fiefdom of Angri could return to its legitimate owner of his brother and his heirs. Angri, in fact, with the Cancellara fiefdom (see the Grancia di Pizzaguto) once again entered the feudal succession of the Zurolo with all the connected jurisdictional rights (by virtue of the royal disposition of Ferdinand I of Aragon, known as Ferrante - XVIII King of Naples, 1458-1494), with a certain Scipione (son of Salvatore Rossillo and nephew of Giovanni) who in 1485 is listed, in the documents of the time, as ''dominus utilis'' of Angri; then on 5 February 1463, he was investitured, again by the same sovereign - Ferrante I, of the fiefdom of Solofra. Ad antiquo therefore the fiefdom of Angri remained with the Zurolo counts until it came under the dominion of other noble and powerful lords of the kingdom.

Death and burial[edit]

Giovanni, feudal lord of Angri, died in around 1440, and was probably buried in the church of his greatest ancestors of Santa Restituta in the Cathedral of Naples.

Street plaque - Via Giovanni Zurolo, from which it takes its name from the 15th century feudal lord Giovanni Zurolo, placed on a wall of a building in the historic center of Angri.
