About
David Pacifico (1784 – 12 April 1854) was a naturalized British subject from Gibraltar born in 1784. David Pacifico's grandfather, who was born in Italy and whose name was David Pacifico too, eventually settled down in Gibraltar even if Pacifico's family's origin was Spanish sephardic . Once expulsed from Spain with the whole Jewish community in 1492, the Pacifico's ancestors reached Italy, particularly Tuscany, first in Leghorn then in Florence. It was Pacifico's grandfather who moved to Gibraltar. As Pacifico grew up in Portugal because of his father's work, he was speaking a perfect fluent Portuguese. From that derivates the misunderstanding of thinking Pacifico of Portuguese descent which is not at all. The Pacificos or Pacificis are always in fact known to be of Spanish descent in the Italian Jewish communities they do belong to. David Pacifico died in London 12 April 1854. He is best known to history as "Don Pacifico" and for his role as the key figure in the Don Pacifico Affair of 1850.
