Cornaro family

The House of Cornaro or Corner was a patrician family in the Republic of Venice which included many doges and other high officials. The name Corner, originally from the Venetian language, was adopted in the eighteenth century. The older standard Italian Cornaro is no longer common in Italian sources referring to earlier members of the family, but remains so in English.
