Conti di San Marciano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The San Marciano are a Maltese noble family. The fief of San Marciano was first created to the Cadumi family in 1398, and later regranted to the Galea-Feriol family in 1726.
The title of Baron di San Marciano was created to Diego Antonio Galea-Feriol in 1726 by Grand Master de Vilhena, each holder of the title having the right to nominate a successor. The succession of the Barony from father to son came to end in 1884, with the death of the 6th Baron, who died childless. He was succeeded by his brother, Pietro Paolo Galea.
Upon the death of the 7th Baron, Emilia Galea-Feriol succeeded as the 8th Baroness, and she married Dr Salvatore Trapani. Emilia, died in 1943, to be succeeded by her son Nicolino, as the 9th Baron, then, in turn, by his son Gino in 1963 .
Gino Trapani-Galea-Feriol, is presently the 10th Baron, and his heir, the eldest son Michael, Baroncino di San Marciano
