Candia
1438

The ancient coat of arms of the Camuffo family of Chioggia taken from the book Il libro d’argento. Storia delle famiglie nobili e cittadine. (The silver book. A history of noble town families) by G. Dolcetti. It is clearly inspired by the Arab origins of the family: we can observe the head of an Arab – with a snub nose – on the silver weapon, under the green escutcheon.

The Venetian arsenal

After their arrival in Chioggia, following the loss of Constantinople (1453) and until 1811, due to the obligation arising from the concession – licentia a vendere ubicumque – to sell their boats, the Camuffo caulkers, ship gaugers and shipyard workers, worked at the Venetian Arsenal on the most important vessels built there. (see pages 25-26-27).
