Talk:Albergo (family)

Delete?

 * As regards, if User:Save venice is the banned user in question, page Albergo's subsequent edits by other users seem substantial to me. (I do not know if page Albergo is a hoax or not.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Hoax?

 * This message was moved from User talk:Anthony Appleyard.


 * While the content may not be a hoax (Societyfinalclubs et al has posted some true info) it cannot be trusted and the hoaxer has posted virtually all of the content. You give ‘the substantial work by other later editors is too much to disregard’ as a reason not to delete, but the vast majority of the edits are by User Save Venice and the various 65.54.15x.xx IPs, all of which are socks.
 * For example, here is every non-hoaxer edit prior to my posting the article for speedy deletion.
 * Alaibot tagged the page as Uncategorized.
 * I removed some for the hoaxer’s claims, added tags, and corrected one spelling error.
 * Smackbot expanded a tag I added.
 * Deor adds a citation tag.
 * Alanmaher corrects two spelling errors.
 * Katteg removes some blank lines.
 * Boris Barowski corrects one link and one heading.

Sourcing mix-up
I recently added some information that I made a clerical mix up with the notations- going in now to fix them- sorry.Cavourman (talk) 04:18, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

another reference
More academic reference here - the term may be restricted to Genoa, or the Genoese sphere of influence, & I think post-dates the sense of "inn", not gives rise to it. Johnbod (talk) 10:17, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Another page in a mess
google books source, that I found says an albergo is a FORMAL not informal corporation of nobility that only the most distinguished families were formally invited to enter- so what we have here is people messing up the statements- including the last reference that was fine untill someone added giberish to it on the end. going in to fix.Jky52 (talk) 04:03, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Adding info
I’ve added a lot from the Italian version of this article, though much of that needs better sourcing. Things are complicated by the fact “albergo” also means “hotel” (which appears to be the most common usage of the word) and was a term used for a meeting room within the Scuole Grandi of Venice.

Then there is the following paragraph-


 * ” Alberghi often funded and supported various confraternities. For example, the Barbaro family Albergo supported the Scuola of the Chiesa di San Rocco di Venezia, which primarily assisted citizens in time of plague, and the Scuola's Sala dell'Albergo functioned as the conference room for the members of the confraternity's Albergo. ”

While Zenkert is a good source, there is no preview available to tell whether this is another false statement by the Barbaro hoaxer. No book by Zenkert that has any form of preview mentions Albergo  or the Barbaros.

So far, I have found no evidence that the Barbaro family supported the Scuola Grande di San Rocco The only Barbaro mentioned at the official website is a modern church official. The Sala dell'Albergo serving as the Scuole’s conference room has nothing to do with Alberghi, a Sala dell'Albergo was a standard type of room in the Scuole Grandi of Venice. I can find no evidence that the Barbaro family or any family in Venice were members of an Albergo. There is no evidence that the title Baron dell'Albergo exists, let alone that it has any connection to the Barbaro family. . Edward321 (talk) 20:07, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
