<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 160923, member: 44&quot;]Though this pic may be a Venice celebration of some kind, the bearded man doesn&#039;t look like a Venice doge because they seem to always be shown in a doge cap/hat, pointed cap.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;...the ceremonial crown and well-known symbol of the doge of Venice was called <i>corno ducale</i>, a unique kind of a ducal hat. It was a stiff horn-like bonnet, which was made of gemmed brocade or cloth-of-gold and worn over the camauro, a fine linen cap with a structured peak reminiscent of the Phrygian - a classical symbol of liberty.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
