The
coat of arms is
recorded in
"Nobiliary of
Sicily", a book
by Antonio Mango
di Castelgerardo
1912-1915. The
Family Cusimano
is recorded in
the Yearbook of
Italian
Nobility, XXXI
edition, parts
V. A painting of
the arms is on
display in the
collection of
the noble coats
of arms of
Sicily in
Donnafugata
Castle.
The Cusimano
family descends
from Leonardo
Cusimano of
Castelbuono, c.
1500, the first
ancestor for
which any
documentation
has been found.
Following the
epidemic that
struck
Castelbuono in
1600, the family
also created
branches in
Carini, Palermo
and Termini
Imerese. Notable
ancestors
include
Salvatore
Cusimano (see
Mango di
Castelgerardo)
who was Praetor
of Palermo in
1792 and then
elected to the
Royal Grand
Court of Palermo
in 1812. The
Cusimanos were
very close to
the Royal House
of Savoia and
had an important
political part
in the
Unification of
Italy in 1861.
During the
second world war
many documents
were lost
however the
family has
recently begun
to piece
together their
history and
family papers
have begun to be
unified.
The family has
always had a
great tradition
of army and
naval officers
as well as
judges and
professors and
today the family
continues to be
made up of
distinguished
journalists,
university
professors,
judges, and
notaries.
