"Adjacent to the Sant Fournier house is the Casa Rocca Grande (No. 141 St. Christopher Street) built by Fra Pietro La Rocca, Prior of Santo Stefano, towards the end of the 16th. century. In 1585, Prior La Rocca was sent to Naples to congratulate the new viceroy, Don Diego Enriquez de Guzman d’Alva de Lista. He was appointed resident ambassador in Rome in 1593, where he was to point out that the easy hearing of appeals, at the Roman Courts, from members of the Order who had been punished in the Convent for misdeeds, was making members lose respect towards their superiors and causing discipline to become lax in the Convent. In 1598, Fra Pietro La Rocca was appointed Admiral of the Order and later created Bali of Santo Stefano. On Bali La Rocca’s death, the house passed to the Italian Langue and it was henceforth occupied by many of its important dignitaries. Fra Francesco Saccano, Prior of Santo Stefano, held it in 1614 and Comm. Fra Gio. Batta Macedonio in 1643. It was next let to Fra Carlo Gattola, Prior of Capua, who was appointed Admiral in 1681 and who died in the Convent in 1684 at the age of 80 years.

Fra Carlo Spinelli, Bali of Armenia and Captain General of the Galleys in 1687, then occupied the house and he was followed by Fra Mario Bichi, on whose death it was taken over by Bali Vincenzo Caravita, Admiral of the Order in 1709. In 1722 we find the premises in possession of Bali Fra Pietro Platamone, Lieutenant to the Admiral in 1723, who was followed by Comm. Fra Francesco Pappalettere (Admiral 1745) and Comm. Fra Francesco Paterno. The house was leased, in 1751, to Comm. Fra Baldassare Torres92 (Lieut. Admiral 1755) on whose death, in 1757, it was occupied up to 1767 by Comm. Fra Giuseppe Provana da Colegno.The next occupier was Comm. Fra Massimiliano Buzzacarini Gonzaga who took the house on a life lease in 1773.95 It was let to Comm. Fra Galgano Scozzini in 1788, Comm. Fra Francesco Mazzei in 1785, Comm. Fra Michel’Angelo Arezzo in 1791, who relinquished the lease the same year, when it was taken over by Comm. Fra Michele Benedetto Grimaldi. The French Republican Government sold the house to Citoyen Francesco Sant (Count Francesco Sant) on the 14 Fructidor year 6 of the Republic (21 August 1798). Later, the premises were purchased by Count Messina from whose heirs they were purchased by the late Professor Vittore Stilon de Piro. The estimated value of the Casa Rocca Grande, in 1685, was Sc. 4,478."

In that list there is no 'Monsignor Fra Gaspare Gori Mancini of Siena'. The other tenants mentioned in the article don't appear notable enough but maybe they lived there after the premises were bought by the Professor?

I am challenging the article.Tourist1000 (talk) 18:14, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
