La Raccolta Zane/Ziani. Formazione e dispersione tra XVII e XIX secolo
Asolati, Michele
2022
Abstract
The contribution focuses on the collection of antique gold coins of the Zane family, probably formed by Domenico Zane, who is mentioned by Charles Patin in his Introductio ad historiam numismatum. The origin of the collection is not known, but some clues seem to imply that a large part came from finds, specifically from the territory of Altinum, where the Zane family had many landholdings. The fate of these coins is less mysterious; in fact, the Zane collection was sold in England in 1760 and it is now part of the numismatic collections of the British Museum.
