Product Description
The RF Aniceto Mansion has acquired a prominent and esteemed place in the rich historical heritage of Vigan, Ilocos Sur. It was built in 1840 by Don Marcelino Florentino y Pichay, father of the first Ilocano poetess, Doña Leona Florentino. It was also in this house that the historian-writer Don Isabelo de los Reyes, founder of the “Obras Pias,” lived until the age of fifteen.
ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE
The Mansion was bequeathed by Don Marcelino in 1866 to his daughter Doña Felipa Florentino y Florentino and it eventually actually acquired the distinction of becoming the abode and office of the first Civil Governor of the province when she married Don Mena Crisologo y Pesson, designated as “Notario Eclesiastico” of the estado Diocesis Nueva Segovia and Governor from 1901 to 1906 during the American occupation. In 1927 the Mansion was bequeathed to the surviving heirs of the Crisologos and was used as a clinic by Dr. Marciano Crisologo, until his death in 1945. Since then, the Mansion remained the property and ancestral home of the Crisologo family.
In 1988, the Mansion was sold by the Crisologos to Dr. Rodolfo Aniceto y Favis, Doctor of Medicine and businessman, married to Floresita Azurin Arcano. Dr. Aniceto and his wife conceived that this historical edifice will be a lasting legacy to their eight children, grandchildren, and descendants and will also serve not only as their abode during their sojourn in town, but also a symbol of family unity, a proud and distinct monument of their ancestral roots. Dr. Aniceto named the property in honour of his parents, Rodolfo and Floresita, and transferred the residence to the RF Aniceto Mansion. He has since converted it into a historical site while fully retaining its ancestral architecture and decor, preserving its rich cultural heritage. The RF Aniceto Mansion now serves descendants and visitors alike, who wish to relive the bygone eras of opulence and grandeur during their sojourn in Vigan.
