The house owned by Angelo di Negro and his brother Leonardo was located in the sub-district (conestagia) of Banchi in the city of Genoa, in the vicinity of the modern-day Piazza Banchi. The notary Tommaso Duracino had his table in the portico of this house for most of his career.
The slaveholder from the commune of Voltri named Pietro Grillo sells an enslaved Circassian man named Giacobino, who is approximately 38 years of age, to a cooper named Gabriele de Corvaria, for the amount of 95 Genoese lire.
Voltri was a commune which was part of the Republic of Genoa during the late medival and early modern era. Its main industrial activity was the production of paper.
The land of the Circassians was not an autonomous political entity in the late Middle Ages, but a general region to the east of the Black Sea stretching to the Caspian Sea.
