Sermoneta

The churches of San Giuseppe (mainly 16th century) and San Michele (mainly 12th century) still stand. A Jewish community engaged in the commerce of fish and lending is attested there from the 13th to the 16th centuries, when the community was removed following Pope Pius V's papal bull of expulsion, Hebraeorum gens sola (1569), which restricted Jewish residency to Rome and Ancona. The current holder of the title of Duca di Sermoneta is Carlos Egerton Bragança de Bourbon del Monte Caetani Sforza (b. 1993), a Italo-Brazilian descendant of princess Lelia de Bourbon del Monte Caetani Sforza, who was married to the Portuguese nobleman Luís Virgílio Gomes Martinho Bragança.
