THE DIRECTORY OF 20th CENTURY ITALIAN SILVERSMITHS (SORTED BY PROVINCE) |
In the first part of the 19th century Lombardy (Milan) and Veneto (Venice) territories in northern Italy suffered a long occupation by foreign countries, with France and Austria repeatedly alternating in the domination of the territory. In 1797, after the conquest of Venice by the French army and as a consequence of the Peace of Leoben, Venice and its territories were taken by Austria until 1805. In 1805 Veneto and Lombardy returned under French influence and were assigned to the Kingdom of Italy (Regno Italico: Viceroy Eugene de Beauharnais).
In 1815, after the fall of Napoleon, the kingdom of Italy was dissolved and the territories became part of the Kingdom Lombardo Veneto (Regno Lombardo Veneto) created under Austrian control.
Only in 1859 (Lombardy) and 1866 (Veneto) obtained freedom from foreign influence, entering in the Kingdom of Italy under Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy

REGNO LOMBARDO VENETO SILVER MARKS
|
The hallmarking system of Lombardy and Veneto was approved by Eugene de Beauharnais, Viceroy of
the Kingdom of Italy (Regno Italico), on December 25, 1810 and was activated in 1812.
After the dissolution of the Kingdom of Italy (1814), the "French" system of marks was maintained by the new Austrian administration and continued to be used in the Regno Lombardo Veneto until 1872.
