The Galatis or Galati (Greek: Γαλάτης; Venetian Italian: Galati) are an old noble family from the island of Ithaca, Greece, who came to prominence as local nobles first under the rule of the Tocco family in the 14th and 15th centuries.[1][2] The family is later listed in both the 1803 and 1804 catalogues of nobles on the island.[3] Among the members of the family are the pre-revolutionary figure Nikolaos Galatis(1792-1819) and the Athenian fashion designer Giannis Galatis [el].

Origins

The family is first recorded in the region in a reference to a Klinietos Galatis, governor of Lefkada in 1335.[4] The first noble privileges are obtained in connection to service for the Tocco family who ruled Cephalonia, Ithaca and Zakynthos. In 1403, Leonardo II Tocco confirmed and recognised noble privileges on the island of Zakynthos belonging to Francilo (or Franculo) Pelegano which had earlier been granted by Leonardo I to his parents, Nikolaos Pelegano and Eudokia (daughter of Nikolaos Galatis).[1][5] Upon the island of Ithaca itself, Leonardo Tocco (I or II) granted certain rights and privileges together with property to the Galati on the island, and named Kaisar (Caesar) Galatis among the nobles of the state.[1]

After the Venetians took control of the region, the island of Ithaca was repopulated in order to promote agriculture on the island.[6][7] The economy of the island changed, but it is known that the Galati maintained some privileges and land interests on the island, since their earlier noble privileges under the Tocco were again recognised by the Venetians. In 1558 the then Provveditor of Cephalonia, Zuan Dolfin confirmed the noble status of the Galatis family under Venetian rule, and this was restated by twenty of his successors:[8][1][6][9]

'la famiglia Galati al tempo del signor Lunardo De Tochis erano tornati, et trattati per persone civili et non erano sottoposti a niuna gravezza.' [the Galatis family returned in the time of the lord Leonardo Tocco, and they were treated as civili (i.e. the class of citizens) and they were not subjected to any burdens.][1]

Some essence of the noble status of the family was maintained for centuries despite the changing economic environment, since the family is found in both the 1803 and 1804 Libri d’Oro, two late registers of nobility on the island.[3][10]

The Galati were the only holders of noble privileges on the island of Ithaca under the Tocco and later under the Venetians.[11][6][9] The family was originally based in the old village of Anogi (or Anoghi), near Mount Neriton, and continued to exist there into the 20th century. [12][13][14][15][16] A branch was later established at the nearby village of Kioni.

Connections to other families

The Ithacan family Galati are not believed to have any connection to the Chian Galatis family, who came to prominence much later with certain financial interests in European banking and shipping.[17] Despite this, these two distinct families are often confused, with some erroneously attributing the Ithacan Nikolaos Galatis (1792-1819) to the Chian family.[18]

The revolutionary Nikolaos Galatis (1792-1819) claimed to be a cousin of Count Ioannis Capodistria but this was denied by the latter and the precise connection was not made out.[2]

Notable members

  • Klinietos Galatis (14th century), governor of Lefkada in 1335[4]
  • Caesar Galatis (15th century), early member of the family on Ithaca granted with noble privileges by the Tocco family[1]
