The Salvani gave their name to Hacienda Salvani, which, at its most expansive, covered more than 50 hectares. It still occupies a large area of Patnoñgon, and its muscovado mill in Poblacion Patnoñgon was still operational even during the 1990's.
The most famous of this family was Enrique Salvani, who married Teopista Manzanilla, a daughter of the formidable Don Ramon. He started his career as mayor of Patnoñgon in 1898, and eventually became governor of the province from 1922-1931 during the time of the American Governor-General Leonard Wood. Governor Salvani's close friendship with the governor-general was legendary; Leonard Wood (who was arguably the most powerful man in the islands) even made the arduous trip to the family hacienda. This was more than just a symbolic gesture, since at that time, it took as much as eight hours to make the trip from Iloilo City over unpaved roads and unspanned rivers, not to mention the lurking dangers from armed bandits. As a result of that close friendship, Antique was provided with the funds for much-need public works during that period.
