History:
SEGUSO family mentioned in the Golden Book has its own family crest painted on the walls of the great hall in Giustiniani Palace, seat of the Glass Museum in our days.
The Golden Book was created in 1605 as an authentic register of the true-born families in Murano. Since 1275 a chief magistrate (Podestà), tasked by the Duke of Venice, had ruled over The “Magnificent Community in Murano” and now he was supported by the Council of Murano, whose members could only be from the original Murano’s families. They could use the title of “glass producers and glass makers” and could coin “oselle” (ancient gold or silver coins) with their own crest and their own name on it.
