Coat of arms

The Sanudo (sometimes spelled Sanuto) were a Venetian noble family. The earliest known member was Marco Sanudo (1043–1096), but the family is sometimes said to descend from the older Candiano. The family went extinct in the 19th century.[1] A branch ruled the Duchy of the Archipelago from 1204 until 1566.[2] Other branches include:

  • Sanudo di San Matteo di Rialto[1]
  • Sanudo di San Silvestro[1]
  • Sanudo di San Giacomo dell'Orio, whose most famous members were Francesco Sanudo and Marino Sanudo the Younger[1]
  • Sanudo di San Polo, whose most famous member was Benedetto Sanudo[1]
  • Sanudo di San Severo, whose most famous members were Marino Sanudo Torsello and Livio Sanuto[1]
