‘TAVOLE LVI. EPOCA III. DOGE, CANCELLIERE GRANDE, COMANDATORE, CAPITAN GRANDE, CAVALIER DELLA STOLA D’ORO EC. EC.’

– (Plate 56. Duke, Grand Chancellor, Commander, Grand Captain, Knight of the Golden Stole.) The Order of Saint Mark (Ordine di San Marco in Italian) was the Order of Chivalry of the Republic of Venice. It was named in honour of Saint Mark the Evangelist. The order may have lasted from the 780s to 1797, when the Republic of Venice fell. The few patricians awarded the Order by the Doge (about twenty) could not wear their insignia when they dressed in the traditional robe and used instead a golden border on the stole of the ordinary robe, or, with the ceremonial robe, a stole of flowery gold brocade, passing from the left shoulder to the right hip, which made them known as the “Knights of the Order of the Golden Stole”.
