A memorial in the main square of Chios commemorating the 47 prominent victims of those hanged in 1822, with a range of names from the Chios aristocracy such as: Mavrogordato, Argenti, Petrokokkino, etc., families who for centuries ran the internal affairs of the island through the Genoese Albergho system of government. These individuals weren’t Levantines in the strict sense, in that they were inhabitants of Chios, though many of them had business dealings in Smyrna and elsewhere in the Ottoman Empire.
