ZAMBELLI PAPERS

Papers of Antonio Tommaso Lega Zambelli and his family; 1800-1888. Italian with minor exceptions. Zambelli (b. circ. 1770, d. 25 Apr. 1847), a native of Brisighella in the province of Ravenna, was for several years, 1819-1824, Secretary and 'Maestro di Casa' to Lord Byron in Italy and Greece, and upon Byron's death at Missolonghi, 19 Apr. 1824, attended the transport of the body to England and presented his accounts to Byron's executors. Remaining in London, Zambelli set up as manufacturer of macaroni in partnership with Byron's valet, William Fletcher, at 14 Cromer Street, Brunswick Square. His only child, Aspasia Maria Paola Andriana (d. 1890), married in 1838 Fletcher's son, William Frederick Fletcher, to whose daughter Clelia Mary (d. 1924), wife of Ansel Weekes, and grand-daughter Ethel Clelia Lega Weekes (d. 1949) the papers passed. Zambelli's side of the correspondence is represented by a copious series of drafts. The contents represent five main strands of Zambelli's activities and concerns, viz.:-(1) his service under the Napoleonic regime in Italy;-(2) his business as money lender to his countrymen;-(3) his connection with Byron;-(4) his family interests;-(5) his own and his family's relations with the Italian exiles. The two final volumes reveal the preoccupations of his future son-in-law, W. F. Fletcher. Used by D. Langley Moore, Lord Byron: Accounts Rendered, 1974. Twelve volumes. Various sizes.
