Domenico Tranaso (1796 - 1854) was a notary in Altamura who was sentenced to eight years of imprisonment in Trani prison in 1850 after attempting to overthrow the government of Altamura in 1848.
Early life
Domenico was born in about 1796 in Vieste to Biaggio Tranaso and Gaetana Olivieri. Biaggio's status as a property owner in Vieste likely allowed him to secure a notary position for his son in nearby Altamura by the year 1823. Later in 1823, Domenico married Clemenzia Deluzio, with whom he had at least seven children.
Participation in Altamura Riots
Tensions in Altamura were high throughout the year 1848, particularly in November with the attempted ouster of Judge Don Costantino Fiorese from Gravina that subsequently led to the National Guard being summoned to the city. On the night of November 5, the Guardhouse that contained the 80 guards that arrived to patrol the city was invaded and looted by a mob of peasants. The soldiers disbanded and the mob removed all the furniture and burned it in the city square.
During this same year, Don Domenico Tranaso, who joined the Progressisti branch of the Carbonari on January 21, had been giving speeches to the people, highlighting grievances against the government and calling for a unified Italian nation. On December 12, Tranaso gave another speech in which he called for the removal of all signs of the current government. He aimed his rhetoric particularly at the Royal Judge, Ferdinando Ruggiero, whose house had been attacked less than two weeks before. At the conclusion of Tranaso's speech, the crowd made its way to the not so distant home of the judge while screaming "Abbasso il Giudice ladro e traditore! Fuori, fuori! (Down with the Judge thief and traitor! Out, out!)"
Imprisonment and Death
Domenico Tranaso died on September 21, 1854 while imprisoned in Trani.
