Following the example of other foreigners in the Istanbul&#8217;s &#8220;European&#8221; quarters of Galata and Pera, members of the house of Chirico married with members of other immigrant Western European communities and long-settled Levantine families. In this manner, the Chiricos swiftly assimilated into Levantine society, and became one of the most influential family in this non-national, or supranational, cosmopolitan community of people of the same, Roman Catholic faith and culture. Marital ties with members of Levantine dragoman families who served Western European embassies and consulates, provided the house of Chirico, as a hereditary dynasty of the Ragusan consuls, with a useful diplomatic network of information, as well. Unable to preserve its own Ragusan political identity after the abolition of the Republic of Dubrovnik, the nineteenth-century dragomans from the house of Chirico separately entered service of Sardinian and Russian consulates. Service and allegiance to different foreign states determined citizenships of now stateless members of the house of Chirico, eventually leading to division between the family branches into Italian and Russian citizens. The First World War brought a definite end to the age of the empires, which was succeeded by an era of national states inhabited by one nation with one language. Little space was left for people of complex multinational, multicultural, and multilingual background such as the Chiricos, who had to be classified and labelled according to rather random and arbitrary national criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that external guests need to register for events.
