Summary
An overview of the Odoni family, as well as Andrea’s biography, reveals him to be an insider and an outsider in Venetian society. Through his maternal uncle, Francesco Zio, he rose to the top of the very lucrative wine-taxing office, but as the son of an immigrant from Milan, he needed extraordinary means to stand out in his adopted homeland.
