http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/269600679

This collection relates mainly to banking and real estate activities in Rome, and agricultural estate management in the surrounding area. It includes 27 volumes of bank records, 1630-1818, which throw much light on the administration of two very important Roman banks that are still functioning: the Banco di Santo Spirito and the Monte di Pietà€; 27 volumes of estate records for such holdings as Monte Libretto, Monte Maggiore, Monte Rotondo, Monte Flavio, and Bassanello: all important for the study of the last of the feudal regime in Roman Campagna; and 13 volumes of letter books, 1645-1801, containing letters relating largely to estate affairs. Two of these volumes belonged to Principe Taddeo Barberini; the others were those of Principe Urbano Sciarra Colonna. There are also 14 account books, 1645-1802, recording personal expenses of various members of the Barberini family.
