Otherwise, he was also the most frequent case for tax reasons, you must ask anew the decree of recognition. It follows that enrollment in the "Golden Book" was a simple administrative act and against the related measures could appeal to the council of state on legal grounds.[4]

To gain entry in the "Golden Book", in addition to submitting the application, you must have paid their administrative fees, obtaining registration with the Court of Auditors, after which the relevant decree was sent to law. The mere fact of belonging to a noble family was not only necessary, but it also required the positive opinions of the prefectural authorities who had approached the police, and many other things.[5]

The official lists of nobility of the Kingdom of Italy

Before Italian unification, the official lists of families with noble title existed in many states and cities and often took the name of "Golden Book".[7]

The heraldic consultation was intended to avoid abuses and usurpations in the maintenance of existing titles in the pre-unification states and was responsible for keeping a "record of noble titles" in which membership was compulsory for the right to public attribution of the title. In 1889[8] was set up a list of families who had obtained decrees granting or recognition of titles of nobility after the ' unification of Italy were drawn simultaneously and 14 regional lists, where families were recorded already recorded in the official lists of states pre-unification.

In 1896 was established at the heraldic consult the "Golden Book of Italian nobility",[9] in which members were families who had obtained decrees granting, renewal or confirmation of a title of nobility by the king or royal decrees or ministerial recognition of his noble title.

In 1921 it was approved '"Official list of noble and titled families of the Kingdom of Italy":[10] the list included all family members already in the regional registers, but It marked with an asterisk those who, having obtained the royal decree or ministerial, were included in the Golden Book of Italian nobility.

In 1933 it was approved a second '"Official List of the Italian nobility",[11] to which was attached a list of predicates of nobility.

Students enrolled in the Italian Official lists of nobility (1921–1933 and SUPL. 1934-36) if within three years did not have the documentation for inclusion in the Golden Book was canceled by them: List of 1933 disappeared many families do not become extinct listed in the one published in 1921.[12]

The consultation heraldry, although it was never enacted the law that would regulate the removal, in 1948 ceased its functions, following the entry into force of the fourteenth and final transitional provision of the Italian Constitution, with which the Republican State sanctioned not the legal recognition of titles of nobility. The official list of heraldry see if he has lost all legal effect with regard to titles of nobility, however, remains as evidence of recognition of the title in the past, ordering, which is a prerequisite for the right to enter their name in the predicate.[13]
