Notary Record
Marco Felice

Zani – Bettini Marco Felice of Giovanni Battista, notary of Bologna, from 1755 to 1787 used the seal of Giovanni Battista Zani – Bettini Senior that is now deposited in our archive at number 55 previously described.

Giovanni Battista of Filippo, notary, was born from Angela Rivani on April 8, 1697 and was baptized the following 9th (while living in Strada San Donato). He married Maria Nicoletta Moreschi on November 11, 1731, who gave birth to Marco Felice on December 25, 1736. Marco Felice studied with the Jesuits (Santa Lucia), with Lodovico Montefani and many more. He practiced the profession with his father. His father died before he became notary on June 19, 1755.

You can find him in the Cancelleria Maggiore and in the Cancelleria D’Ornato shortly after his nomination. He established taxes and managed public works, paving the city roads and other things.

In these edicts or printed warnings, as a  Cancelliere D’Ornato, he used the surname Zani – Bettini but in the registers he signed only Zani.

He rolled out acts for …(list of families).

He rolled out acts for Santa Maria delle Grazie.

He lived in the Parish of Santa Maria della Baroncella, 1776 S. Martino Maggiore, 1784 San Salvatore.

He was the notary corrector for the first trimester in 1787 and died in about the end of that year, leaving Candida Torelli a widow and his son Giovanni Battista, a notary in 1802.

He owned a house in the alley called Gorzadello (in the Parish of San Marino) and a big stable called Dei Felicini, that he sold in 1780 to Giovanni Battista Casolari with an agreement to free it in 1787. On January 13, 1771, it is recorded that he repaired the chiavicotto (a small hidden masonry conduit in the body of the street or in another embankment, and used to cross the water from one side to the other) of San Manolo that damaged the wine cellars of the notary’s palace.

This act belongs to Giovanni Battista and Enrico Magnoni. Moreover, Magnoni owned these acts and Giovanni Battista asked for them to the court of appeal on June 2, 1802 because they belonged to his grandfather. On April 6, 1804, Magnoni said that he came into possession of these acts because Giovanni Battista left Bologna in 1803.
