- Abstract
This research aims to analyze the relationship between the local power of the Gallo family in the town of Copiapó in the first half of the nineteenth century. To develop this study we affirm the hypothesis that the Gallo Family was one of the most important and powerful of Copiapó during the first half of the nineteenth century, that power was based on three pillars: an economic wealth as the fruit of their business around to mining, at second notable social contributions through the technological and cultural terms that this family gave to the city, and the family who built a network of marriages and bussines in the region. The power and influence that this family was able to allow you to show even hostile to the central power, while liberal ideas permeate the group, its businesses were reduced and expressed disagreement with the operation of the executive, leading to confrontation war against the government of Montt, in the Civil War of 1859.
