This text deals with the quotidian life of the Czechoslovakia-based members of the House of Collalto e San Salvatore in 1918–1938. After a general introduction summing up the political and family situation of the House, the attention is paid to the means of transport and travelling, places of residence, children upbringing and languages. Furthermore, the cultural life of the House is addressed: their reading habits, writing activities, their pets and jobs. The social life of the House is brought in focus too, which means the visitors of the aristocratic houses living in the neighbourhood and the relatives are paid attention to. Last but not least, the text deals with the documented diseases that occurred at the House in the followed period and with the approach of the Collaltos to the body functions.
