Schiavone (pronounced
[skjaˈvoːne] ; feminine Schiavona , plural Schiavoni ) is an
Italian ethnonym literally meaning "
Slavs " in
Old Venetian : originally, this term indicated origins in the lands of
Dalmatia and
Istria (in present-day
Slovenia and
Croatia ), when under the rule of the
Republic of Venice . Today it is an
Italian surname .
History
The importance of Schiavoni's role in the
Venetian Republic is best shown by the name of one of the main streets in Venice, Riva degli Schiavoni, just in front of the Doge Palace and San Marco Square.
A number of artists who worked in Italy who were of
Slavic descent were nicknamed Schiavone by their origin: most famous among them are
Giulio Clovio ,
Francesco Laurana , and
Luciano Laurana .
Schiavone was also a designation of the
Oltremarini , a military unit of the same descent in the
Venetian Navy . The basket-hilted sword
schiavona was also named after the Schiavone.
Surname
In
Italy , the surname Schiavone mostly occurs in the southernmost regions of the mainland, namely
