Message: <blockquote data-quote="l_raty" data-source="post: 2995271" data-attributes="member: 24811">If I understand correctly what I see <a href="http://bartesaghiverderiostoria.blogspot.be/2010/09/la-famiglia-gnecchi-ruscone-verderio-di.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://bartesaghiverderiostoria.blogspot.be/2009/06/da-verderio-cisano-note-di-un.html" target="_blank">here</a>, this Contessa Giuseppina Turati married Giuseppe Gnecchi Ruscone on 7 Oct. 1846, from whom she had 6 children: Francesco, Ercole, Amalia, Carolina, Antonio and Erminia (the whole family can be seen on the first image of the first link).I don't seem to be able to find the exact relation between her and Count Ercole Turati. (And the fact that one of her sons was named Ercole too, doesn't make the search easier...) But if a direct relation is to be found, I think she was more likely a sister than a wife.Also, I would note that Finsch referred to the Count under his original Italian christian name Ercole (not the French version Hercule), and that this would seem to be at odds with him having changed Giuseppina into Josefine.</blockquote>
