THE FLAMÍNIA FAMILY
and the origin of the Flumignano Family.
By: Dr. Izidoro Flumignan
Plebeian family of Rome, that already appeared in century III a.C.. It had belonged to some personages notables. The life of some of its members is portraied by Greek historian PLUTARCHUS, in the workmanship " Lives Paralelas"(1). We line up below the biographies of its two main representatives with sight to the objectives of this genealogy.
The remote origin, until the registered moment, date of the republic Roman, descending of a member of noble family FLAMINIA, who had increased to its name the suffix " - anus ", resulting FLAMINIANUS, later FLAMMIGNANO, possibly with intercalated form FLOMIGNANO, later FLUMIGNANO / FLUMIANO. Filologicals alterations had continued in the friulana region, for influence of the previous Gallic domain in years 776/899, with the fall of the vowel " ", having today FLUMIGNAN / FLUMIAN as two of its branches of great expression. Inhabiting its members in all the northern region of the Italian territory, divided that it was in stand alone provinces, after the unification, force of the intestinas wars and the faced economic difficulties then, some of its members had been engaged in the emigratório movement, come for Brazil, United States, Canada, Argentina, France, Australia, Mônaco, where we cheat to discover its numerous descendants. Located, as said, since long ages in the northern region of Italy, the family loaned its name to a commune today integrated in the Province of Údine, whose name comes cited for the first time in a document of 23 of August of 1311 ("of Flumignano "), that it constitutes one of its great historical landmarks. One of the triúnviros charged of the foundation of Aquiléia about year 181 B.c., and of the land distribution is thought that commune FLUMIGNANO, then in bigger extension, consisted of one old possession of Latin consul GAIUS FLAMINIUS NEPOS, (geiras) its legionaries, according to a plan preset politician. It is probable, as historical hypothesis, that GAIUS, in the distribution of the geiras, has remained in the place today assigned by the name of the family, therefore is not known of its rollback to Rome for new public offices. In face of such data, that is seen that the FLUMIGNANO history is narrowly on to the old Aquiléia colony, of is next. Deepened historical and archaeological studies more will be able to lead to the evidence accomplish of this thesis, if not being able to olvidar that they are passed nothing less than 2.177 years of our age. Work this for the pósteros of our millenarian family. Necessary data on this migratory movement of the branches of the family are told in the book " the Centenarian of the Flumignan Family of Brazil - 1897/1997 ".
GAIUS FLAMINIUS, consul 232 a 217 a.C. Important sponsor of the expansion Roman in the north of Italy, GAIUS FLAMINIUS was distinguished as the only serious challenge to the authority of the Senate in the 150 years that had preceded the year of 133 a.C. The popular bracket of ample bases helped it, during all its career, to fight the constant opposition of the senators and to reach position of prominence in Rome. The posterior historical tradition classified it as irresponsible demagogue and tended to depreciate its accomplishments. The hostility and the popular bracket had had origin in the law design that it defended while tribuno (232 a.C.). This design distributed public lands of Rome, close to Rímini (Ariminium), technical unemployed people, to a great number of Roman citizens. It was criticized violently by the Senate and later, unjustly, defendant to provoke the gaulesa invasion of 225. In 223 a.C., while consul, FLAMINIUS counterattacked the gauleses through the river Dust and despite the blockage of the Senate, she marked one I try for its successes. When he occupied the censor position (220a.C.), FLAMINIUS authorizeed the construction of CIRCUS FLAMINIUS in Rome and famous WAY FLAMÍNIA...
