The Coronini von Cronberg Noble Family of ŠempeterPermanent exhibit at the Coronini Mansion, Šempeter pri Gorici![]() The exhibition was produced by Katarina Brešan in collaboration with colleagues from the Goriški museum and the Association of Ladies and Girls of Šempeter, while the material she selected and presented comes from the collections of the Nova Gorica Regional Archives, Gorizia State Archives (Archivio di Stato di Gorizia, Italy), Gorizia Provincial Archives (Archivio Storico Provinicale di Gorizia, Italy), Gorizia Provincial Museum (Musei Provinciali di Gorizia, Italy), while some exhibits are property of the Association of Ladies and Girls of Šempeter. ![]() The Coronini family relocated to Gorizia from the Bergamo area in late 15th or early 16th century. The Šempeter branch was allegedly started by Alexius Coronini (1580-1679), who was promoted to the title of Baron von Oelberg in 1656. The comital title of von Cronberg was given to the family in 1687. Up until World War I, they owned extensive property. In 1930 they sold the mansion to the Italian military aviation and moved to the nearby Mafejšče mansion, from where they moved to Gorizia in 1947, into a newer villa, which is still owned by the family today. |
