Front Cover: The cover image is an engraving by Giuseppe Piaggio after designs by Francesco Baratta and Giovanni Fontana from Costumi e descrizione delle processioni conosciute in Genova sotto il nome di casacce ricavati da quella di San Giacomo il maggiore delle focine (1828). The title of this image is “Compagnia della Nativita detta de Facchini.” Casacce were brotherhoods based largely in Genoa. The name “Cassaccia” likely derives either from the brotherhoods themselves, or from the houses—case—where they gathered. The brotherhoods existed as far back as Roman times, and they engaged in elaborate processions such as the one seen here.
