Caresanablot: the history of a Piedmontese municipality
Caresanablot is a small municipality located in the province of Vercelli, in Piedmont. With its 1091 inhabitants, it is a peaceful and fascinating place, immersed in the quietness of the Piedmont countryside. The name of the village derives from its ancient origins and the need to distinguish it from another nearby area, Caresana.
Origins of the name
Caresanablot is first recorded in the 16th century as "Caresana e Belotto". At that time, the southern area of Caresana was within the boundaries of the large feudal land, but when the settlement of Albellione disappeared, the name of the Bellotto family remained. From here, the form "Blot" appears at least since 1744 and has become the current name over time.
History
Caresanablot has a very ancient history. The first records date back to 1621, when the village was enfeoffed to the Vercelli family of Avogadro. Subsequently, in 1695, the fief passed to Antonio Francesco Bulgaro. In 1724, the fief passed to the Arborio Biamino family, which held it until the cessation of feudalism in Piedmont.
