The Ghisi Shield traces its history to a time when the Venetian Republic dominated Mediterranean trade and military power. The Ghisi family, controlling key islands and routes, likely commissioned the shield during their peak influence in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. It would have been carried in processions and perhaps even in battle, serving as a clear symbol of family pride and authority.
