Birth: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G99X-XG23?i=86&wc=...

Mato Ghetaldi was a monk of the Benedictine Order whose religious name was Alfons Bazilije Ghetaldi O.S.B. He was the Abbot of the Benedictine Monastery of Sv. Jakov at Višnjica (Dubrovnik) from 1682 to 1693 and Abbot at the Benedictine Monastery of Sv. Marija on the island of Mljet from 1693 to 1694. Toward the end of his life he was the Bishop of Ston, Croatia from 1694 to 1702.

GETALDIĆ, a noble family from Dubrovnik whose genealogy can be traced back to the second half. XIII. st. Circumstances of historical development and the multitude of documents in Latin and Italian determined the most common original form of the family name Ghetaldi, but a whole series of forms existed in parallel. The noun base Gatald/Getald/Gitald — sometimes with the preposition de, and regularly with the endings -i, -o or -us, less often -ius — in which in older times the initial letter was sometimes replaced by the letter C, after which an h was usually inserted (exceptionally and after t, which is sometimes doubled), thus served for more than a hundred graphic solutions. The Croatian form of the surname in the Cyrillic monument from 1253 (Getaldik) is a true, but more significant exception. As a full-fledged Croatian form in the XVII. century (1621, 1633) Getodović (Getodovich, Ghettodovich) was recorded.

The name of the family is connected with a tradition written already in the annals of the Dubrovnik Anonymous (15th century) and in the chronicler N. Ranjina, and later in many chroniclers and historians, according to which the Getaldićs were originally from Taranto in southern Italy. Namely, the name could thus be connected with St. Cataldo (Cataldo), bishop of Taranto in VII. st., or with the same or similar names appearing on the other side of the Adriatic. The etymology is only one of the possible ones, and the 10th century mentioned as the time of immigration in the documents cannot be confirmed. The first person with that name recorded in documents is the Dubrovnik public notary, cleric Gataldus (1199–1204), or. presbyter Gataldus (1220–22). In the most thorough work on the early period of the Dubrovnik patriciate (Irmgard Mahnken) he is referred to as the forefather of the family. In somewhat recent literature (V. Foretić) there is rightly doubt about such an allegation for several reasons: it is not certain whether it is about one or two people, archival research has not confirmed that he had descendants, and if he did, it is questionable whether they were full members of the patriciate in view of his priestly vocation.

That the family originates from a certain Gataldo is not disputed: the brothers Bisti (Bistius), Savin (Savinus, Sabinus, Sabo) and Petar are the sons of the deceased Gataldo. Bisti is mentioned in documents in the period 1247–85, Savin 1250–96, while Petar is mentioned only indirectly (in 1281, already deceased). Busti was recorded in sales, ownership disputes, as debtor, daughter's representative and witness. Savin, on the other hand, more often as a creditor and executor of wills. His wills (1281, 1283, 1291), besides testifying to considerable wealth, are a valuable source for observing family ties. Already in the first he is mentioned as the founder of the Franciscan monastery of St. Savina on Daksa. In his later wills, he significantly expanded the bequests to that monastery, trying to secure it for the future. Together with his wife Agaypa (Drasa), he gave the Franciscans an entire island with all the property, vineyards in Župa and Rijeka Dubrovacka, other valuable real estate and money. In the cloister of the Little Brothers in Dubrovnik, a stone tablet with an inscription reminiscent of that legate is preserved. The direct relationship cannot be confirmed, but probably Vita (mentioned 1253–95; 1282–85 as judge) was the fourth brother who had no descendants.

Year In 1285, a certain Janinus Sauini was recorded in the documents, but everything shows that Savin also had no legitimate descendants. Bisti's sons Ghetaldo and Palma (in sources 1281–1313) and Rossinus (1281–1300) and Pasqua (1303) are often listed in documents only under their father's name (but comparatively also as "filii Bistii de Gataldo"), which makes identification difficult. moreover, there are "de Bisti" in the Bunić family at the same time. Palma was engaged in trade with the hinterland (1285), as were his sons Bisti (in documents 1313–53) and Frane (1319–44). Bisti's son Ivan (mentioned in 1386) is the last of the "de Bisti" branch that died before the end of the 14th century. st.

The family name Getaldić asserted itself the fastest in the Petrov branch. His son Vitalis (mentioned from 1281; died in 1329) lived in Ulcinj in 1304, and his grandson Petar (in sources 1329–46) was granted Dubrovnik citizenship in 1329. Another grandson, Marin (in the sources 1306–49), will continue this, the only remaining branch of Getaldić.

In XIV. century, the family is small in number, which was reflected in its material strength and share in the government. In the divisions of newly acquired lands in XIV. and XV. century, the Getaldićs are regularly among the families that receive very few parts, which confirms their small number. The services in which Marin's descendants Vito (1344–51), Savin (Salchus, 1348–79) and Pale (Paulus, 1344–63) are recorded are not of special reputation and significance. The genealogy, published by I. Mahnken (XIII-XVI centuries), records a total of fifty male Getaldićs through eight generations. Only from half XV. century, with Savin's descendants, their number is growing.

Mention should be made of his granddaughter Petra Matova (died 1464), who in 1460 became involved in the production of cloth, investing considerable capital in a company with a clothier. Getaldići do not play a significant role in trade with the hinterland, but occasionally individuals are active in shipping and maritime trade. Thus, already in 1318, Marin concluded a contract on the construction of a ship; In 1457, one Mato died in Syracuse, and Sicily is also mentioned as the residence of some Getaldićs; in the list of Dubrovnik ships from 1599, there is a mention of a 400 t ship, bought in Constantinople in 1596, owned by a branch of the family. In 1505, Jakov (d. 1434–1505) was in charge of taking care of the Dubrovnik colony moved from Drijevo to Osobljava on Pelješac. In 1525, as the captain of Trstenica, Marin Matov prevented a conspiracy in which the Turks planned to occupy Pelješac, which was also recorded in the oldest Dubrovnik chronicles.

Some members of the family are mentioned in the 16th century as deputies to the Porte and among Turkish officials in Foča, Nevesinje, Novi or Banja Luka. Year In 1567, the Dubrovnik Senate sent a letter to the viceroy of Naples, asking him to meet Luciano, who is coming to Messina to take over the scattered inheritance of his recently deceased brother, the merchant Marino. Lucian may be the same as the learned member of the Academy of Concord (Accademia dei Concordi; died 1571) and friend of S. Bobaljević Mišetić, who mentions him in his canconier Rime amorose e pastorali et satire (Venice 1589, 84, 94). Two Dominicans lived in the 16th century: Dominik (died c. 1570), whom S. M. Crijević mentions for his learning and good deeds, and one of the first Croatian biographers → BERNARD.

The number and influence of Getaldić in the XVII. century is growing. According to the data of V. Vinaver, 1601–50. they are no longer among the families with a minimal share in government. More and more often they were elected as local princes. Until 1808, princes were in Župa a total of seven times, in Lastovo fourteen times, in Slanome twenty-five times, and even more often in Ston.

The family name in European proportions in the XVII. affirmed by the mathematician and physicist → MARIN. Although Marin had three daughters, and his brothers had male descendants, the branch still died in the 17th century.

St. Marin's sister Nika was the abbess of the Benedictine monastery of St. Andrije in Dubrovnik. For the revolts in Lastovo against the Dubrovnik government (1601–06), Jero Vitov represented in 1602–03. interests of the Republic in Venice. In historiography, the name of Šimun Matov (born 1606) is known because, as the current prince of the Republic, he died in the cherry tree on 6 IV. In 1667, some Getaldićs also took part in the consolidation of power immediately after that event. Among them, Šimun's son Mato (1646–1702), who in 1668–70 mentioned as a canon. Entering the Benedictine order in 1671, he took the monastic name of Alfons Bazilije, by which he is known in literature. After his education in Italy, he was the abbot of the monastery of St. Jakov in Višnjica 1682–93. and St. Mary in Mljet 1693–94. Year In 1679, he was the manager, and in 1682–94. President of the Mljet Congregation; 1694–1702. the bishop of Ston.

His brother was a poet → FRANO GETALDIĆ KRUHORADIĆ, with whom the branch became numb. Year In 1700, four Getaldić families with ten male members lived in Dubrovnik. Among their descendants, Mata Dominikova (1704–1737) was mentioned, who in 1725 rewrote the Statute and the first part of the so-called The Yellow Books, and in 1726 the Book of All Laws (the manuscripts are kept in the Archives of the HAZU in Zagreb). Mato Franov (1705–1776) was more prominent. With considerable diplomatic abilities, he was recorded as an active participant in resolving various disputes with the Venetians (1751), Naples (1761), the French (1764, 1766) and the Russians (Pisa and Livorno 1770–71) during the Russo-Turkish War 1768–74. In the period 1748–55. priest Frano (archpresbyter in 1728) is a regular participant and companion of Đ. Bašić in missionary campaigns in Ston, Župa, Elafite and Slano. Ivan Matov (1692–1763) was an archdeacon and vicar general of the Diocese of Dubrovnik.

Although members of the old nobility, in the XVIII. St. Getaldići gradually moved into the ranks of the so-called Sorbonne (mainly due to marriage ties with the new lord) and have relatively weak influence in the government. However, biologically they are quite strong compared to other families. Year 1814, for example, are the most numerous among the adult male lords of Dubrovnik. An interesting example is Mat Nikolin (1759–1837) and his wife Magda Bunić: they had twelve children, all of whom lived to adulthood. Of their six sons, four had male descendants, so that branch will last the longest.

The living Getaldići (Zagreb, Pula) descend from him — along a thin line — the son of Mat's great-granddaughter Antonija (b. 1855), Ilko Schwarz, took his mother's surname in the 1930s, which has remained so until today. The branch of Mat's brother Ivan (1769–1826) will also continue until the 20th century, as well as that of the already mentioned Mat Franov. His grandson was the deputy governor of Dalmatia, poet and translator → VLAHO. Mat's son, Frano (1743–1798), added his mother's surname to his surname, the sole inheritor of the Gundulić name and property. Thus, the surname Gundulić in the form of Ghetaldi-Gondola extended its life for an entire century. When his grandson, Baron Frano Ghetaldi-Gondola (1833–1899), died, the double surname also died. First a supporter of the People's Party, then the Serbian Party, Frano was a member of the Dalmatian Parliament in 1883–95. and since 1890 the mayor of Dubrovnik. Before that, he was a member of several provincial commissions and held various positions in the city administration. A Knight of the Order of Malta and holder of a number of Habsburg awards, he is also mentioned as the founder of the agricultural school in Dubrovnik. Since he was a participant in fierce political struggles, and at the same time part of the Dubrovnik Serb-Catholic phenomenon, his death was highly politicized, and the Belgrade press welcomed it as an opportunity to use the catchphrase about "Serbian Athens". —

The Getaldić houses in Župa (Mandaljena) and Rijeka Dubrovnik are mentioned in the literature, and especially "our earliest preserved and reliably dated Renaissance summer house" (Nada Grujić), from 1516 in Suđurđ on Šipan. As a separate archival fund, the Ghetaldi-Gondola Archive (XVI–XX centuries) is kept in the State Archives in Dubrovnik.

GETALDIĆ, dubrovačka plemićka obitelj kojoj se rodoslovlje može pratiti od druge pol. XIII. st. Okolnosti povijesnog razvitka i množina dokumenata na latinskom i talijanskom jeziku uvjetovali su najčešći izvorni oblik obiteljskog imena Ghetaldi, no čitav je niz oblika opstojao usporedno. Imenska osnova Gatald/Getald/Gitald — nekad uz prijedlog de, a redovito s dočetcima -i, -o ili -us, rjeđe -ius — u kojoj je u starije doba ponekad početno slovo zamijenjeno slovom C, iza njega najčešće umetnuto h (iznimno i iza t, koje je kadšto podvostručeno), poslužila je tako za više od stotinu grafijskih rješenja. U tome je prava, ali to značajnija iznimka hrvatski oblik prezimena u ćiriličnom spomeniku iz 1253 (Гетальдикь). Kao punopravni hrvatski oblik u XVII. st. (1621, 1633) zabilježen je Getodović (Getodovich, Ghettodovich). Uz ime obitelji povezana je i tradicija zapisana već u analima dubrovačkog Anonima (XV. st.) i u ljetopisca N. Ranjine, a poslije i u mnogih kroničara i povjesnika, po kojoj bi Getaldići podrijetlom bili iz Taranta u južnoj Italiji. Ime bi se, naime, tako moglo povezati sa sv. Kataldom (Cataldo), biskupom u Tarantu u VII. st., odn. s istim ili sličnim imenima koja se javljaju s druge strane Jadrana. Etimologija je samo jedna od mogućih, a X. st. koje se spominje kao vrijeme doseljenja u dokumentima se ne može potvrditi. Prva osoba s tim imenom zabilježena u dokumentima jest dubrovački javni notar, klerik Gataldus (1199–1204), odn. prezbiter Gataldus (1220–22). U najtemeljitijem radu o ranom razdoblju dubrovačkog patricijata (Irmgard Mahnken) on se označuje — iako uz ogradu — praocem obitelji. U nešto novijoj literaturi (V. Foretić) s pravom se dvoji oko takva navoda iz više razloga: nije sigurno da li je riječ o jednoj ili dvije osobe, arhivska istraživanja nisu potvrdila da je imao potomaka, a ako i jest, upitno je bi li oni bili punopravni članovi patricijata s obzirom na njegovo svećeničko zvanje. Da obitelj potječe od nekog Gatalda, nije prijeporno: braća Bisti (Bistius), Savin (Savinus, Sabinus, Sabo) i Petar sinovi su pokojnoga Gatalda. Bisti se u dokumentima spominje u razdoblju 1247–85, Savin 1250–96, dok se Petar spominje samo posredno (1281. već kao pokojni). Bisti je zabilježen pri kupoprodajama, vlasničkim sporenjima, kao dužnik, zastupnik kćeri i svjedok. Savin, pak, češće kao vjerovnik i izvršitelj oporuka. Njegove oporuke (1281, 1283, 1291), osim što svjedoče o priličnu bogatstvu, vrijedan su izvor za uočavanje rodbinskih veza. Već u prvoj on se spominje kao utemeljitelj franjevačkog samostana sv. Savina na Daksi. U kasnijim oporukama bitno proširuje legate tom samostanu, nastojeći ga osigurati za budućnost. Sa ženom Agaypom (Drasa) franjevcima dariva čitav otočić sa svim imanjem, vinograde u Župi i Rijeci dubrovačkoj, druge vrijedne nekretnine i novac. U klaustru Male braće u Dubrovniku sačuvana je kamena ploča s natpisom koji podsjeća na taj legat. Izravna se veza ne može potvrditi, ali je vjerojatno Vita (spominje se 1253–95; 1282–85. kao sudac) bio četvrti brat koji nije imao potomaka. God. 1285. u dokumentima je zabilježen neki Janinus Sauini, no iz svega izlazi da Savin također nije imao zakonitih potomaka. Bistijevi sinovi Ghetaldo i Palma (u izvorima 1281–1313) te Rossinus (1281–1300) i Pasqua (1303) često su u dokumentima navedeni samo pod očevim imenom (no usporedno i kao »filii Bistii de Gataldo«), što otežava identifikaciju to više što i u obitelji Bunić istodobno postoje »de Bisti«. Palma se bavio trgovinom sa zaleđem (1285), kao i njegovi sinovi Bisti (u dokumentima 1313–53) i Frane (1319–44). Bistijev sin Ivan (spominje se 1386) posljednji je iz ogranka »de Bisti« koji je utrnuo prije kraja XIV. st. Obiteljsko ime Getaldić afirmiralo se najbrže u Petrovu ogranku. Njegov sin Vitalis (spominje se od 1281; 1329. je pokojni) živio je 1304. u Ulcinju, a unuku mu Petru (u izvorima 1329–46) dodijeljeno je 1329. dubrovačko građanstvo. Drugi unuk, Marin (u izvorima 1306–49), nastavit će ovaj, jedini preostali ogranak Getaldića. U XIV. st. obitelj je malobrojna što se odrazilo na njezinu materijalnu snagu i udio u vlasti. U diobama novostečenih zemljišta u XIV. i XV. st., Getaldići su redovito među obiteljima koje dobivaju vrlo malo dijelova, što potvrđuje njihovu malobrojnost. Službe u kojima su zabilježeni Marinovi potomci Vita (1344–51), Savin (Salchus, 1348–79) i Pale (Paulus, 1344–63) nisu od posebnoga ugleda i značenja. Rodoslovlje, koje je objavila I. Mahnken (XIII–XVI. st.), kroz osam generacija bilježi u svemu pedesetak muških Getaldića. Tek od pol. XV. st., sa Savinovim potomcima, broj im raste. Spomenuti je njegova unuka Petra Matova (umro 1464), koji se 1460. uključio u proizvodnju sukna, ulažući znatan kapital u društvo s nekim suknarom. Getaldići nemaju znatniju ulogu u trgovini sa zaleđem, no povremeno su pojedinci aktivni u brodarstvu i pomorskoj trgovini. Tako već Marin 1318. sklapa ugovor o gradnji broda; 1457. u Siracusi je umro jedan Mato, a Sicilija se i poslije navodi kao boravište nekih Getaldića; u popisu dubrovačkih brodova iz 1599. spominje se nava nosivosti 400 t, kupljena u Carigradu 1596, u vlasništvu jednog ogranka obitelji. Jakov (o. 1434–1505) bio je 1505. zadužen za skrb o dubrovačkoj koloniji preseljenoj iz Drijeva u Osobljavu na Pelješcu. Marin Matov je 1525. kao kapetan Trstenice spriječio urotu u kojoj su Turci planirali zauzeti Pelješac, što su zabilježile i najstarije dubrovačke kronike. Neki se pripadnici obitelji u XVI. st. spominju kao poslanici na Porti te u turskih funkcionara u Foči, Nevesinju, Novom ili Banjoj Luci. God. 1567. dubrovački je Senat uputio napuljskom potkralju dopis, gdje ga moli da izađe u susret Lucijanu koji dolazi u Messinu preuzeti razasutu ostavštinu netom umrlog brata, trgovca Marina. Lucijan je možda isti s učenim članom Akademije složnih (Accademia dei Concordi; umro 1571) i prijateljem S. Bobaljevića Mišetića koji ga spominje u svojem kanconijeru Rime amorose e pastorali et satire (Venecija 1589, 84, 94). U XVI. st. živjela su i dvojica dominikanaca: Dominik (umro o. 1570), kojega S. M. Crijević spominje s učenosti i dobrih djela, i jedan od prvih hrvatskih biografa → BERNARD. Broj i utjecaj Getaldića u XVII. st. raste. Prema podatcima V. Vinavera, 1601–50. više nisu među obiteljima s minimalnim udjelom u vlasti. Sve češće su birani za lokalne knezove. U Župi su do 1808. bili ukupno sedam puta knezovi, na Lastovu četrnaest puta, u Slanome dvadeset i pet puta, a još češće u Stonu. Obiteljsko ime u europskim je razmjerima u XVII. st. afirmirao matematičar i fizičar → MARIN. Iako je Marin imao tri kćeri, a njegova braća muške potomke, ipak je ogranak utrnuo već u XVII. st. Marinova sestra Nika bila je 1636. opatica benediktinskog samostana sv. Andrije u Dubrovniku. Za pobune na Lastovu protiv dubrovačke vlasti (1601–06), Jero Vitov zastupao je 1602–03. interese Republike u Veneciji. U historiografiji je poznato ime Šimuna Matova (rođ. 1606) zato što je kao aktualni knez Republike poginuo u trešnji 6. IV. 1667. U konsolidaciji vlasti neposredno nakon toga događaja imali su udjela i neki Getaldići. Među njima Šimunov sin Mato (1646–1702), koji se 1668–70. spominje kao kanonik. Ušavši u Benediktinski red 1671, uzeo je redovničko ime Alfons Bazilije pod kojim je i poznat u literaturi. Nakon školovanja u Italiji bio je opat samostanâ sv. Jakova u Višnjici 1682–93. i sv. Marije na Mljetu 1693–94. God. 1679. upravitelj je, a 1682–94. predsjednik Mljetske kongregacije; 1694–1702. stonski biskup. Brat mu je bio pjesnik → FRANO GETALDIĆ KRUHORADIĆ s kojim je ogranak utrnuo. God. 1700. u Dubrovniku žive četiri obitelji Getaldić s desetak muških članova. Od njihovih potomaka spomenuti je Matu Dominikova (1704–1737), koji je 1725. prepisao Statut i prvi dio tzv. Žute knjige, a 1726. Knjigu svih zakona (rukopisi se čuvaju u Arhivu HAZU u Zagrebu). Istaknutiji je bio Mato Franov (1705–1776). Znatnih diplomatskih sposobnosti, zabilježen je kao djelatan sudionik u rješavanju različitih razmirica s Mlečanima (1751), Napuljem (1761), Francuzima (1764, 1766) i Rusima (Pisa i Livorno 1770–71) u vrijeme rusko-turskog rata 1768–74. U razdoblju 1748–55. svećenik Frano (1728. arhiprezbiter) redoviti je sudionik i pratilac Đ. Bašića u misijskim pohodima u Ston, Župu, Elafite i Slano. Ivan Matov (1692–1763) bio je arhiđakon i generalni vikar Dubrovačke biskupije. Iako pripadnici stare vlastele, u XVIII. st. Getaldići postupno prelaze u redove tzv. sorboneza (poglavito zbog ženidbenih veza s novom vlastelom) i imaju razmjerno slab utjecaj u vlasti. No, biološki su prilično snažni u odnosu na druge obitelji. God. 1814, primjerice, najbrojniji su među odraslom muškom dubrovačkom vlastelom. Zanimljiv je primjer Mata Nikolina (1759–1837) i žene mu Magde Bunić: imali su dvanaestero djece koja su sva doživjela zrelu dob. Od njihovih šest sinova četvorica su imali muške potomke pa će se taj ogranak i najdulje održati. Iz njega — po tankoj liniji — potječu živući Getaldići (Zagreb, Pula): sin Matove praunuke Antonije (rođ. 1855), Ilko Schwarz, 1930-ih je preuzeo majčino prezime koje se tako održalo do danas. Ogranak Matova brata Ivana (1769–1826) nastavit će se također do u XX. st., kao i onaj već spomenutog Mata Franova. Njegov je unuk bio zamjenik dalmatinskog namjesnika, pjesnik i prevoditelj → VLAHO. Matov pak sin, Frano (1743–1798), svojem je prezimenu dodao prezime majke, jedine baštinice imena i imutka Gundulića. Tako je prezimenu Gundulić u obliku Ghetaldi-Gondola produžio život za čitavo stoljeće. Kada je umro njegov unuk, barun Frano Ghetaldi-Gondola (1833–1899), utrnulo je i dvojno prezime. Najprije pristaša Narodne stranke, poslije Srpske stranke, Frano je bio zastupnik u Dalmatinskom saboru 1883–95. i od 1890. dubrovački načelnik. Prije toga bio je članom više pokrajinskih komisija te obnašao različite službe u gradskoj upravi. Vitez Malteškog reda i nositelj niza habsburških odličja, spominje se i kao utemeljitelj poljodjelske škole u Dubrovniku. Budući da je bio sudionikom žestokih političkih borba, a istodobno i dijelom fenomena dubrovačkih Srba-katolika, njegova je smrt uvelike izpolitizirana, a beogradski ju je tisak dočekao kao priliku za plasman krilatice o »srpskoj Atini«. — U literaturi se spominju kuće Getaldićâ u Župi (Mandaljena) i Rijeci dubrovačkoj te posebice »naš najraniji sačuvani i pouzdano datirani renesansni ljetnikovac« (Nada Grujić), iz 1516. u Suđurđu na Šipanu. Kao zaseban arhivski fond Arhiv Ghetaldi-Gondola (XVI–XX. st.) čuva se u Državnom arhivu u Dubrovniku.
