Salamon (family)
The Salamon family - sometimes Salomon or Salomoni - was a noble patrician Venetian family of ancient but uncertain origin, counted among the so-called “Case Vecchie” (Hold Houses) of the Republic of Venice.
History[edit]
According to some sources[1][2], they would derive from the aristocratic Centranico - Barbolano family, and they moved from Salerno or Cesena before living in Torcello and finally in Venice[3]. The first to assume this surname was the Doge Pietro Barbolano (11th century)[4][5].
Since the 15th century the Salamons appear as one of the 24 "Case Vecchie" in Venice, whose members were called "Longhi"[6].
The Salamon family founded the church and the female monastery of Santa Marta in Venice: the oldest of the family had the privilege of installing the new elected abbess, and every year, on the day of the titular saint, she gave a rose to the family.
One of the most important members of the family was fr. Jacopo Salamon (1231-1314), a Dominican friar, who was beatified by the Catholic Church.
The coat of arms of the Salamon family (lozenge in silver and red)[7] is still visible on the facade of the Salamon Palace (15th century) in Cannaregio, Venice.
