BASCIU

Basciu is widespread especially in the Cagliari, Iglesias and Medio Campidano areas. additions provided by Giuseppe Concas BASCIU: low (probably referring to stature), from the late Latin bassus. Bassu in the central dialects (directly from the Latin bassus); basciu in Campidano, most probably from the Spanish bajo or baxo. A pat'e basciu = down, down. De sùsu a basciu = from up to down. Down is also said to jòssu. Basciùra = flat place, but at sea level or below: depression. The phrase "basciu de" has an adverbial value = before or on condition that. Basciu de accabbài su trabàllu no fùrriu a domu = I do not go home before finishing work. Currently the surname Basciu is present in 101 Italian Municipalities, of which 49/377 in Sardinia: Sant'Antioco 141, Cagliari 100, Quartu SE 53, Donori 49, SG Suergiu 38, Sanluri 33, Carbonia 28, etc. On the Continent, Rome has the highest number with 53, Genoa 11, Varese 9, Carmagnola (TO) 5. In the ancient maps the surname Basciu is not present, but we find Bas (de) or Basso (de). That of the Bas (de) was one of the most powerful families of Giudicato Sardinia. It originates from Beatrice de Bas (or de Basso), daughter of Udalardo Bernardo and Ermessenda d'Empùries, of Catalonia. Beatrice was called the second viscountess de Bas, having succeeded, in the viscontado, to the son of her nephew Raimondo Udalardo. In 1110 he married Poncio Ugo de Cervèra, who also had the title of viscount de Bas, from which the Bas of Arborea descend, who reigned directly for 224 years, from 1196, to 1383, the year in which the queen and Judicess Eleonora had to abdicate, at the behest of Corona De Logu, in favor of her son Federico Doria Bas, although in fact, since Federico was a minor, she continued to hold the power, until her death, it seems, for malaria, in 1403, to Oristano or perhaps in the castle of Monreale. The viscounts of Bas inherited, by indirect descent, the throne of Arborea from the De Lacon - Serra (Di-Sto-Sa). In the Condaghe of Santa Maria di Bonarcado, * CSMB, 11th, 13th century, in chapters 33, 34, 99, 100, 101, 209 we find Ugo, viscount de Basso (or de Bas), judge of Arborea, husband of (of) Preciosa de Lacon, and Petru de Basso, also called de Serra, because husband to "woman" Diana de Serra, son of Hugh and Preciosa, who succeeded the throne, on the death of his father.
