Tron Family
The House of Tron was a noble family of Venice whose most prominent member, Nicolò Tron, served as the Doge of Venice from 1471 to 1473. Other members of the family served as procurators, senators, generals and ambassadors of the Venetian Republic. History The family rose to particular prominence in the 15th century as maritime traders and local rulers in Corfu and Crete. The line had allegedly become extinct by the 19th century. The Tron family moved to France, where it thrived and grew in Buchony. At some point, the family divided and a part relocated to the valley of Ubaye and the city of Barcelonnette. By the early 20th century, parts of both branches of the family moved to México, where it remains and grows to this day, mainly in México City and Morelia, Michoacán. The family's origins are unclear, although 18th-century genealogists, including Marco Barbaro in his ''Albori de' patritii veneti'' have proposed that they originally came from Ancona.

Teatro San Cassiano
The Teatro San Cassiano (or Teatro di San Cassiano and other variants) in Venice was the world’s first public opera theatre, inaugurated as such in 1637. The first mention of its construction dates back to 1581. The name with which it is best known comes from the parish in which it was located, San Cassiano (Saint Cassian), in the Santa Croce district (‘sestiere’) not far from the Rialto. The theatre was owned by the Venetian Tron family and was the first ‘public’ opera house in the sense that it was the first to open to a paying audience. Until then, public theatres (i.e., those operating on a commercial basis) had staged only recited theatrical performances (''commedie'') while opera had remained a private spectacle, reserved for the aristocracy and the courts. The Teatro San Cassiano was, therefore, the first public theatre to stage opera and in so doing opened opera for wider public consumption. In 2019 a project, conceived by the English entrepreneur and musicologi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dogaressa
Dogaressa ( , , ) was the official title of the wife of the Doge of Venice. The title was unique for Venice: while the head of the Republic of Genoa were also called Doge, the wives of the Doges of Genoa were not called ''Dogaressa'', nor did they have such a public position.

These rights changed several times during the history of the Republic. The first bearer of the title was reportedly Dogaressa Carola in the 800s, and the last was Elisabetta Grimani in the 1790s.

The symbols of her rank were a golden veil and a crown in a similar shape as that of the doge. Similar to a queen, the dogaressa was provided with a household of ladies-in-waitin ...
