My second family name, Nessi, as I have said before, comes out of Lombardy and the city of Como. The Nessis of Como fled from Austrian rule, and came to Spain, probably peddling mousetraps and santi boniti barati.
One of the Nessis, who survived until a short time ago, always said that the family had been very comfortably off in Lombardy, where one of his relatives, Guiseppe Nessi, a doctor, had been professor in the University of Pavia during the eighteenth century, besides being major in the Austrian Army.
