 note = {As in every society, patricians of the Venetian Republic were
combined with one another by various personal ties. Such relationships
were especially significant for the top-ranking patricians in the early
sixteenth century, when the tendency for the oligarchy was so intense
in Venice. They weaved out multidimensional networks, through which
the power went concentrated in their hands. In addition to kinship and
marriage bonds, they had a great diversity of social connections through
formal and informal associations. One of these jointing points of Venetian
nobles was the Compagnia della Calza.
　The Compagnie （pl.） della Calza were “youth societies” and festive
associations almost exclusively for nobles. They organized pageants
and banquets on such occasions as carnival, the wedding of members,
and welcoming foreign princes. According to the contemporaries, there
existed 30-40 Compagnie della Calza between the middle fifteenth and
the middle sixteenth centuries. For the last half-century, historians
paid more and more attention to these groups, mainly with interests
in festivities and theatrical plays. Many of them have pointed out the
importance of the Compagnie della Calza in the social life of Renaissance
Venice and referred to the high status of their members. However,
no prosopographic investigation into any specific Compagnia has been
conducted so far.
　In this paper, I analyzed 44 members of the Compagnia degli Ortolani
（Company of the Gardeners）. We can collect pieces of information
about its membership and activities from the diaries of Marin Sanudo, a
contemporary patrician （from this and other sources, Lionello Venturi
drew up member lists of 12 Compagnie, including that of Ortolani, in
1909, but with omissions and duplications）. In the first place, I consulted
the Genealogie Barbaro in the State Archive of Venice to identify every
member of the Ortolani. These genealogies give us personal data on
thousands of patricians of Venice. Then I searched for more detailed
information about the Ortolani members, mainly in the Dizionario
Biografico degli Italiani published by Treccani Institution.
　This analysis revealed individual relationships among the Ortolani
members and confirmed that many of them were scions of the most
prestigious and wealthiest families. Two members married the
granddaughters of two Doges in office （Leonardo Loredan and Andrea
Gritti） and another two were grandsons of another Doge （Antonio
Grimani）. Two members could “buy” the status of the Procuratore di
San Marco, the highest position in the Venetian government only second
to Doge, though still being inexperienced young men, one for 20,000 and
the other for 10,000 ducats.
　A peculiar thing about the Ortolani members is the fact that
many of them had personal ties with Andrea Gritti. Some had blood
or matrimonial connection with him or with his business/political
partners. During the War of the League of Cambrai, two members
were co-prisoners of Gritti in France. After their release, they fought in
collaboration with him and accomplished the reconquest of the mainland
territories. Considering that the Ortolani were active in the “post-
Agnadello” period, they might have shared a special sense of belonging
to the elite group.
　In the course of this investigation, I found a number of other
Compagnie members among close relatives of the Ortolani members.
For further elucidation of multiple and intricate personal networks of
Venetian nobles, we need to extend our research to other Compagnie
della Calza and other associations.},
