history

Former collegiate foundation St. Michael

The place developed around the former Augustinian canon monastery of St. Michael, which is important in terms of art, church and regional history . The collegiate monastery was founded in 1144/45 by the Counts of Eppan from Hocheppan Castle with the assistance of Trento Bishop Altmann above the old confluence of the Etsch and Noce rivers . Similar to the South Tyrolean convents of Neustift near Brixen and Au near Gries-Bozen , the monastery was part of the canon reform radiated by the Archdiocese of Salzburg under Conrad I. It was abolished in 1807 in the course of secularization .

The forerunner of today's Istituto agrario di San Michele all'Adige , a teaching and research center for agriculture (and especially for viticulture ), was founded in the former monastery building in 1874, when it was still part of Austria-Hungary .

The area of ​​the municipality has changed several times over the years. In 1928 the dissolved municipalities of Faedo and Grumo San Michele all'Adige were added, in 1952 Faedo regained its administrative independence, while Grumo is still a fraction of the municipality today.

Grumo

Location and function

San Michele seen from the west. Grumo lies west of the Adige.

The place Grumo (formerly also German Grimb , from Latin Grumus , "hill"), which formerly also belonged to Mezzocorona , is located around the hill Cantaleone on the alluvial cone of the Noce , which occurred before it was straightened in the middle of the 19th century this point flowed into the Etsch. At the beginning of the 19th century around 100 inhabitants were estimated, which were distributed over around ten farms. In 1861 there are 171 inhabitants. In 1874 Hermann Ignaz Bidermann already had 35 houses and 233 residents. Their origin is possibly to be sought in the cattle and dairy industry , for which the Rotaliana plain offered good conditions. The settlement of Grumo, located in the Rotaliana plain , also served as a small port where the timber transport from the nearby area of ​​the northern Brenta reached its provisional end before the tree trunks were transported across the Adige to the Venetian Adriatic. Today the agricultural land use is particularly characterized by viticulture . The local Teroldego Rotaliano and Pinot grigio are particularly grown .

Surnames

Postmark St. Michael on the Adige, 1907

The surnames of the children born in Grumo between 1815 and 1824 are

  • Zeni (Zenni),
  • Visentin (Visintin),
  • Pellegrini (Pellegrin),
  • Andreis,
  • Bonamigo,
  • Bolzanine,
  • Banaletti,
  • Boz,
  • Dolzan,
  • Dalmonego (Dalmonech),
  • Fisser (fisherman),
  • Kaizer (Emperor),
  • Fontana,
  • Scaramuzza.

Zeni (also Zenni, Zini, Zani), Visentin (Visintin) and Pellegrin (Pellegrini, Pelegrin) still occur frequently today in the area of ​​the upper Non Valley around Sarnonico , Cavareno , Romeno - with Don and Amblar - as well as Sanzeno , and indicate Migration movements between Grumo and the Val di Non. Similar name structures can also be found on the high plateau of the Paganella , especially around Spormaggiore , Cavedago and Andalo as well as in the Cembra and Fassa Valley .

Both the spelling corresponding to the Venetian language (e.g. [ dz ] instead of [ dsch ]) and the names themselves (e.g. Visentin , designation for people from Vicenza (outdated German Wiesenthein), Veneto ) indicate immigration from Veneto . The theory is supported by the remaining family names in Grumo from 1815 to 1824 - which rarely occur in Val di Non and on the Paganella: Bonamigo , Fontana and Dolzan (typical for the region around Bassano del Grappa ) as well as Boz ( Feltre ) and Bolzan and Bolzanine (see toponym Bolzano Vicentino ) are clearly of Venetian (Vicenza, Treviso ) origin.

In his monograph The Romanes and Their Distribution in Austria , Hermann Ignaz Bidermann mentions a tax book from 1756, according to which German-speaking, Italian-born South Tyrolean aristocrats from the lower Non Valley are said to have been the majority landowners in Grumo (p. 122). However, he describes that in the second half of the 18th century these were increasingly supplanted by "Ladins and Venetians" (p. 114). In another place (p. 126) he mentions Verona , the area around the city of Vicenza , as well as the Vicentine valleys Val d'Astico and Val Posina as the main areas of origin of the Venetians.
