The de Terzy family (this is how they wrote with Y, although the name de Terzi is often met in the history of Rijeka) used to live on the Drena River and was, in all likelihood, seen and well-to-do. One part of Drenova is still named after them Terčevo selo and stretched once from the present place with a characteristic volt on the Drenova road, immediately after the old parsonage all the way to Škudarovo, occupying the former fields on which there were no houses at that time.
In “The Book of Weddings 1838. – 1926’, led by the village prefects of Drenova, and a copy of which has the Regional Museum in its digital holdings, we find the fact that they married on 17.8.1849. Josephus de Terzy i Carolina Medanich, and 29.10.1892. their son Franciscus de Terzy and Francisco Vidrih.
In the book The history of the river, the book of the second, author Giovanni Kobler mentions the name de Terzy in the part where he describes the churches of Rijeka:
29. Parish Church of Sv. Mary of the Mount of Carmel.
Archdeacon de Peri, who died in 1810, in a will from 1807, left the estate on the Drena, with the same obligations, to his great-grandson Francesco de Terzy. While arranging income for cult maintenance, patron Francesco de Terzy, then the city chancellor, vinculated the sum of 500 forints in favor of this chapel.
The online Forum Croinfo051 writes, among other things:
List of all who were in power in the city at some time:
….
1694, 8. VII. 1715 Ottavio Barone de Terzy, Captain
1813? 1813, 23. XI Vicenco de Terzy, (temporary Intendant, podestata)
In the State Archives of Rijeka, I found two documents mentioning the Drenov family de Terzy. The first one from 1909 (pictured below) says:
The sketch shows the terrain on Drenova (Red) which is municipal property and is registered by mistake in the name of de Terzy Antonio, Vincenzo, Giuseppe, Luigia, Carolina, Teresa.
The sketch shows the church, and the terrain is approximately in the area of today's monastery.
Another document from 1910 shows a sketch of the exchange of land ownership between the municipality and the Francesco de Terzy 's for the purpose of extending the road (today's Drenovski put). They are well marked: church, then parish apartment, house Lina Kucicha (today the ‘Lepe Brena’ building), the skanj (barn) next to yoga (see below) and only Terčevo selo in the middle of the picture.
The above-mentioned volt over the entrance door to the center of the village is made up of a block of houses that today looks like the following pictures. The first photo is a view of the entrance to the village with a stone arch - volt, and the last one is a relief on the volt with the name of the village carved in it. Terce's village, two oak leaves (perhaps a family sign) and the inexplicable initials FV (perhaps a stone cutter). The ground floor of the building used to be Oštarija pul Sablić The entrance was today's middle window in the middle picture. The right image shows the interior of the village.
Above the house is another volt with an embossed inscription on which the initial is difficult to read. The letter T is discerned, to the right, probably from Terzy, and to the left it could be read as J, which would correspond to the name Josephus, mentioned in the Wedding Book, as well as the year 1909.
Across from the tavern, below the road was bocce yoga, and behind yoga, towards the church, there was a treasure bar. On the back of the painting was written by Ante Zupčić:
Bottle yog on Terčeven village in 1965. Z. Ljubo hitil bottle after him Pepić Mihić Josip. Romano Mihić Milan Saftić Arduino zdigal is a bocce and Renato z Lokve, for the Master's horses and mullets and nurseries.
By talking Ante Zupčić at the time of taking this photo the owner of the skateboard was Milan Saftić and kept goats and poultry in it.
What this part of Drenova looked like at the beginning of the 1940s is shown in a sketch that he drew at my request by memory (and believe me it has a very good memory) Alberto Mihich-Bertić.
A few words for orientation: on the right is the old parish apartment where our good Gabriel lived, in the middle is today's building and the entrance to Terčevo village, across from yoga and skanj. You notice that there were more entry ports with volts that were demolished over time.
