The author, Joan Vernet i Borràs, explores the documentation preserved for centuries by the Vernet family, owners of the house, and reveals how their economic and social activities were intrinsically linked to the life of the town. An essential book for understanding the genesis of a family and the development of a community, especially valuable because the original municipal archive was lost during the Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many centuries, Ca la Torre was the most relevant ancestral home in Vandellòs. The economic and social activities of the municipality's residents were, directly or indirectly, linked to the Vernet family, its owners. When the City Council acquired the house in 2006, it gained access to an important family archive that exceeded all expectations. This book is a sample of that documentation, which proved to be crucial both for understanding the origin and development of the family history itself and for reconstructing local history, given that the Municipal Archive was practically destroyed during the Civil War. The work thus becomes a primary source of great value for historians and residents interested in their past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLocal history of Vandellòs and its social and economic evolution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGenealogy and trajectory of the Vernet family throughout the centuries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRecovery and analysis of a family archive as a historical source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe ancestral home as a center of community and economic life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe impact of the Civil War on the loss of municipal documentary heritage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in the local history of Catalonia, especially the Baix Camp and the Vandellòs area.
