[3] After being involved in a scandal that made Dante Alighieri put him in the Inferno of his Divine Comedy, but which today is the object of skepticism,[4] the bishop was transferred to the vacant see of Vicenza in 1295.

[11] In 1854, Sartori married Angela Zancaner, who would give him eleven children: Ludovico, Lino, Amalia, Carolina, Maria, Luigi, Alberto, Massimo, Guerino, Settimo, and Attilio, who was born in Brazil.

Faced with an adverse situation and seduced by a misleading propaganda of the Italian colonization agents in Brazil, who promised him great facilities in the New World, he sold all his assets and investments, which were still significant, and decided to seek a new life in America.

[11] Salvador arrived in Caxias do Sul on February 20, 1879, during the great immigration wave at the end of the 19th century, taking part in the founding work of the city.

[14] At the time of the foundation, when everything was improvised, the merchants, formerly called "traders", carried out several activities more diverse than simply buying and selling, including transport, savings and credit operations, functioning as incipient banking houses, besides often maintaining associated manufactures and industries; they could even have guest rooms in their establishments and set up bodegas and restaurants.

[16] There are also reports that he made shoes,[2] kept a troop of mules to transport goods for himself and others between Caxias and the trading post of São Sebastião do Caí - from where they were shipped to the capital Porto Alegre -, and was apparently a wine producer.

[21] After the former Caxias colony was emancipated to the condition of an autonomous municipality, on June 28, 1890, he was nominated by the State Government as a member of the Governmental Board, taking office on July 2 along with Angelo Chittolina and Ernesto Marsiaj.

Some transcriptions made by Adami of lost documentation allow us to know from the inside a little of Sartori's participation in public administration in those times when everything was to be done, showing the rulers interested in a variety of subjects.

This displeased the population, since most settlers took time to stabilize their economic situation, leading many of them to end up losing their land due to their inability to fulfill their legal obligations.

As a result, serious friction arose between the public authorities and the settlers, which, added to other political disputes that simmered, derived from rivalries between Masons and Catholics and others that the immigrants had brought from Italy, convulsed by a difficult unification process, contributed to disrupt everyone's lives and made the actions of the Board and the Council often conflictive, if not impossible.

[23] The council was in charge of discussing the budget; economic policy; control of the municipality's assets; the creation, increase or suppression of taxes, and authorization for loans and credit operations, among other attributions.

This is why it seems strange, at first sight, to link him to the eccentric behavior of his adult children, who were all cheerful, talkative, braggarts, and noisy, true artists of the stage art and certainly responsible for their father's white hair.

Anyway, nobody could be sad around those people, because everything they did or said was a laughing matter; the boys' greatest hobby, whenever they had the opportunity, was to play tricks on their friends, and an encyclopedia could be written, if someone was willing, about the antics of that bunch of histrionics.

[2]Towards the end of his life, Sartori became involved in further friction, triggered by the arrival of the ultramontanist priest Pietro Nosadini, appointed to govern the parish of the Mother Church.

In a short time, Nosadini gathered around himself the Catholic community and incited opposition to the Masons and liberals, as well as to the government, accusing them of being responsible for the situation of stagnation and confusion in which the village was found.

The atmosphere became tense and volatile, with accusations and insults multiplying between the priest and his main opponent, the intendant José Cândido de Campos Júnior, who was Grand Master of the Masonic store Força e Fraternidade, and violence again occurred.

[29] In the same year, in a large album published by the State Government in partnership with the Italian Government commemorating the 50 years of Italian immigration to Rio Grande do Sul, he was again celebrated as "one of the exponents of the foundation of Caxias," highlighting also his family, "egregiously linked to domestic affections and traditions and to the economic cooperation that is at the origins of the Pearl of the Colonies and contributes to create a history of amazing progress".

[30] He was praised by several distinguished personalities of the city as a firm leader in the times of social, political, and military unrest at the end of the century, amidst the difficulties of settling the colony, the turmoil of the Federalist Revolution, and the settler revolts that marked the early history of Caxias do Sul.
