Archival history

The Archive of the Captaincy and Vicariates of Bazzano preserves documentary collections produced by distinct offices and magistracies which, according to Italian archival legislation, should have been deposited in the State Archives of Bologna. In 2009, the State Archives signed an agreement with the municipality of Bazzano so that these funds could continue to be stored in the municipal archive. The most consistent series is that of the Captaincy of Bazzano (nos. 627-907). It preserves the acts produced by the captains of Bazzano, dating from 1508 to 1790. The Vicariate di Savigno series (nos. 1-181) contains the civil and criminal acts produced by the vicars of Savigno and dates from 1358 to the mid-17th century; the Vicariate of S. Lorenzo in Collina (nos. 510-615) holds the acts produced by the respective vicars from 1388 to 1600; the Vicariate of Monteveglio (nos. 232-357), from 1377 to 1601; and the Vicariate of Piumazzo (nos. 908-964), from 1412 to 1616.

Administrative / Biographical history

In the first half of the 13th century, the municipality of Bologna underwent territorial organisation, by which the countryside communities were submitted to each of the four districts into which the municipality was divided. Over time, this underdeveloped administration was replaced by new administrative districts divided into “podesterie", "captainates" and "vicariates”. The vicariate of Savigno was established in 1352. The community of Monteveglio was founded in 1376, while the community of San Lorenzo in Collina, also belonging to the vicariate of Monteveglio, was established as an autonomous vicariate around 1388. Finally, the community of Piumazzo became a vicariate in 1407. Bazzano, initially a vicariate, became a captaincy in 1508, in order to unite the other two vicariates in the territory of the Montagna bolognese. The aforementioned vicariates were put under the administration of this captaincy. This judicial and administrative structure ceased in 1796.
