The Mazzeos are the family of an ancient and noble Messinian slave, bearing the title of “Baron of San Teodoro”. Among its most distinguished members is “Francesco”, who, in 1704 and 1705, held the dignity of “Consul of the Sea in Messina” and, through a generous donation from his uncle “F.

Among them are: - “Girolamo”, who held the position of “senator in Messina” in the years “1606-1607"; - “Giovanni”, who was “senator” in “1691-1692" and “proconservative” in “Massa di San Giorgio” in “1695"; - “Francesco”, already mentioned, “consul of the Sea in Messina” in the years “1704-1705"; - “Giovanni”, doctor in “utroque jure”, living in “Messina in 1732";”, from Messina, doctor in 'Sacred Theology', certified in the year '1785'. This is how the memory of an illustrious lineage is handed down, which over the centuries has been able to preserve the honor and prestige of its lineage. ... ...
