The Rivarola Family in Spain Rev. 15/05/2005 By: Jorge To Rivarola Encabo Diverse documents date the entrance from the Rivarola family in Spain around century XV and XVI. Thus we found to a certain Juan Baptist of Riverol, genovés, of which she has the news by the year 1487 in the Canary Islands and that had treatments with Columbus and he was related with the Cibo of Italy. We can find data of the descendants of Juan Baptist in history Canary and in addition in the Nobiliario to the Canary Islands among other documents. To the descendants of Juan Baptist and other Rivarola families arrivals to the kingdom of Spain, one denominated in diverse writings and official documents to them of the time like: Rivarola, Rivarolo, Riverola, Riverol and Riveroles or Riberoles among others. At the time of King Don Felipe II the Prudent one (Valladolid 1556 - Dump 1598), we found documented the coming of members from the Rivarola family to Seville in the titled work "Nobiliario of the Rivarola, native of the villa of Chavarriz, in the Republic of Genoa", talk about to the establishment in Seville of Don Luis de Rivarola and Arada, natural of the Republic of Genoa in Chiavari. On the history of the Rivarola family in the Canary Islands, we were with the following writing of Sergio Castilian Aguiar, made for the page Web of the municipality of Guide and who says thus: "Finished Conquista de Canary Gran (1483) the repartimientos of earth and waters they constituted the measures that Corona took so that the islands filled. The repartimientos of territories of Agaldar, began in 1485 and in such they correspond to the conqueror Sancho de Vargas and Machuca the territories of the Meadow of Tamaragaldar. In these earth where Sancho de Vargas commands to construct a hermitage in honor to Santa Maria de Gui'a, around 1505 and that conclude in 1509. Around this hermitage he is being born a population nucleus that, little by little, is acquiring greater protagonism, because in adjacent earth from years before, they are risen sugar talents, on the part of trading and propietary outstanding of origin genovés like the families Riverol, Cibo de Sapronis or Cairasco, families with an outstanding paper in the discovery of America, since they were bankers who financed some of the trips of Columbus. Next to them colonos of Spanish and Portuguese origin, these last ones settled very related to the operation of the sugar cane. Before the outstanding importance that is acquiring the created urban nucleus around the hermitage of Santa Maria de Gui'a, the Governor and Greater Justice of the island of Great Canary, Martín Fernandez Cerón, in 1526 grants to this population nucleus "Mayor and Twig of Justice", naming to Fernando Alonso of the Gendarme of the Civil Guard 1st class Real Mayor of Guide of Great Canary ". In this text reference to the family becomes of origin genovés denominated Riverol and nonRivarola, however, is a translation of the last name to the Spanish who is not strange if we consider the made translation of the last name when he is spoken of the literato and French politician of Italian origin Antoine Rivarol (Bagnols 1753 - Berlin 1801) and supposed Count of Riverol, that in fact was called Antoine de Rivaroli; Also we were in an Argentine edition of the encyclopedia Espasa, the biography of the Spanish military man Don Sebastián Riverola and Pineda, when in fact one is Don Sebastián Rivarola and Pineda. On the other hand the last name Riverol or Rivarol, is not documented or it existed prior to this Riverol family of the Canary Islands, neither in Italy, nor in no other place. But definitively, the test we found it in a critical test made by Marvin Lunenfeld in 1992 titleholder in English "Columbus and Spain: Accident or Destiny, which I consider by the used bibliography, documented well enough and in which it mentions two genoveses: Francesco gives to Rivarola [ Riberol ] and Francesco Pinelli [ Pinello ], advisors of the city of Seville and that in addition had investments in the Canary Islands, the author already Riberol reference with Rivarola. Another conclusion that we can remove, talks about to the Cibo family in the Canary Islands, of origin genovés and their relation with the Riverol of the Canary Islands. In addition, on the other hand, the Rivarola settled down in Seville was related with the Cibo in Genoa, which could demonstrate the connection between the two families and, therefore, to once again deduce a same origin and last name. In pregón of the celebrations of the virgin of Guide del year 1991 writing by Santiago Betancort Brito, is today mentioned to Juan Baptist of Riverol with the following text ", seven of August of 1,991, is the eve. Remontémonos five hundred years back and we draw conclusions. Seven of August of 1.491. Next to the hill, and in the great Valley of the Herons, surrounded by the today extinguished volcano of the Mountain of Atalaya and the White Earth that it heads the zone of mediocrities of our municipal term, to the Northwest of just conquered isa of Great Canary, is fulfilled 4 years of the establishment of Juan Baptist of Riverol, protagonist of the sonata split of which it had been powerful native kingdom of Gáldar. Direct witnesses of that "rebellion" were Fernando de Montemayor, Marentes, Esteban Zambrano, Francisco Lopez, Juan de Ceverio, the cronista Pedro de Argüello, Gonzalo of the Rojana, Francisco de Porras, Ruy Green González, Rodrigo de Vara, Juan Rodriguez of the Cane, Gonzalo de Aguilar and, mainly, Sancho de Vargas and Machuca, all of them been in the Valley after the repartimientos of Conquista. If from its White Earth () today, White Talent -, the Riveroles extended the seed of something different from which then it was already the exreino of Guanarteme, that dominated all the end-north, he was Sancho de Vargas who cleared the initiative. Eight days later of that seven of August of 1,491 () as thus it can be come off the investigations made until now -, illustrious the Castilian later raised to a hermitage under the invocation of Santa Maria de Gui'a, blooming mighty years our municipality ". In same pregón it is mentioned to genovés Francisco de Riverol and his connection with Cristóbal Columbus when dealing itself the investigation on the origin of the city of Santamaría de Gui'a in the Canary Islands with the following paragraph; "Francisco Moral Register, gives another interesting track that justifies the existence of Guide in 1.492, when it speaks of the company that Fernandez de Lugo formed, with Florentino Berardi and genovés Francisco de Riverol, settled down in Guide, who in addition yielded money to Cristóbal Columbus for its room travels to the Indians". Of this paragraph we will emphasize the Genoa connection once again - Canary - Seville with the entrance of the Rivarola family in Spain, of which it is possible to emphasize the important role played by the Rivarola family in these cities. With respect to the Rivarola family in Seville, Don Juan Felix Rivarola and Pineda (2) talking about to Sebastián de Rivarola and Pineda, descendant of Luis de Rivarola and Arada, says: "head and greater relative of the Rivarola in Spain and Italy" with which it leaves knowledge that is a branch primigenia. Of the connection with the Cibo family previously mentioned, we found to Don Hieronymite Estephano Rivarola Justiniano, Gentleman of the Rivarola House in Chiavari in the Republic of Genoa, married with Doña Catherine Corbet and Cibo daughter of Antonio Corbet and Juana de Valencies Cibo Spinola and Columbus; year 1519. The entrance of the Rivarola family in Seville, perfectly is documented in diverse works and genealogical studies made by diverse Spanish authors. Being many of these works in the National Library of Madrid and this documentation it is possible to be affirmed that the Rivarola family I get to integrate itself perfectly to the new society in which one was; his first piston rods occupied important positions of greater or smaller relevance and between which we can honor to the relative of Santo Oficio Juan Felix Francisco Rivarola and Pineda, author of a genealogical work on the calmest republic of Genoa and another one on the Spanish monarchy; to military Don Sebastián de Rivarola and Pineda that I participate in the conquest of America; to Don Francisco de Rivarola, founder and possessor of the Mayorazgo de Rivarola in Spain.
