Politics: Sacario Religion: Paragon State Motto: Nos Vici Mare Colors: Azure, a pale sable Blue and Black Valor: 0 Passions: Hate (Eastern Empire) Head of House: Gurian Predecessor: Rugeri di Zanetti 1308 (D) - Dies at the War of Landro Heir: Heir to House		TIMELINE Timeline - 1270: Fante di Zanetti is makes cause with the Eighth Entrada (Great Grand Father) 1282-1302: Bitino di Zanetti Fights against Avicorse during the War of Calperan Prayers (Grand Father) 1296-1301: Bitino di Zanetti dies against Eastern Empire during the Eastern-Matora War 1301: Mapheo di Zanetti, brother to Bitino and Great Uncle of the current line, insults a member of the Necchi family. This leads to a feud and border skirmishing along the Merzia that lasts for several years.. 1304: Persa di Zanetti on behalf of Rugeri works to amend the feud and settle it. Ceding the control of a portion of the Merzia henceforth to the benefit of both Houses. 1308: Rugeri di Zanetti Votes against the War of Landro, fights reluctantly to capture the city but dies (Father) 1317: Blaxio the Brave, uncle to the current main line, attended the Battle at Crocina but did not engage with the enemy. There are mixed feelings and thoughts of this maneuver among some of the houses to this day, including a primary interest among some of the Gaspari line as they had called out Blaxio then to join the battle, and accuse him of refusing the aid to a fellow house of Matora.

Zanetti has been a stoic house, set to working her lands and making use of the wood produced there to bolster its focus on production in mainly shipbuilding. The finest of ships sailing from Matora usually have some hand of Zanetti in their craftsmanship, be it line and sail or the hull itself.

A portion of its production are the mills of Pario. Recent developments in saw mills have lead to the conversion of some of these old grain mills into saw mills. There are a few traditional pitsaw locations nearby as Pario remains a traditional debarkation point for wood and planks from these mills to traverse to Matora where the Zanetti ship yard operates.

The current Conte is one Signore Gurian di Zanetti. Eldest of his siblings, his father Rugeri died when he was but the age of five. This left his mother Persa di Zanetti to serve as regent. She married his then Uncle to keep ties strong with Zanetti for her family. The daughter of Barone Antoni di Moro, a baron under one of the other Great Houses. Whether instigated between Conte's or simply a gain by the Barone Antoni, the union held.

House Relations

Necchi

Sharing a mutual border, there has been a mixed relationship with Necchi due to that very same border and the Merzia River itself. At times the mills of Zanetti along the river served to bolster the family and holding it led to exchange between families. Agricultural byproduct and goods received from Necchi in exchange for access to the productive water mills of Zanetti.

That they stand opposed on the political spectrum has not served well in conjunction with that border along the Merzia.

Things were heated when Signore Mapheo di Zanetti, a great uncle to the current line of Zanetti, attended a wedding feast in which the Necchi family was present. Mapheo took it upon himself to accuse the Necchi of not reciprocating their agreements and rights to the Merzia. This was in 1301, which lead to a lasting border feud. This was ended in 1304, by the grace of the Contessa Persa, by which was officially conceded to Necchi a portion of the river that they may conduct their own operations on the river while lesser nobles along the border could still conduct fair business with the mills of Zanetti. To this day, it is a tenuos relationship that is upheld by the current heads, Gurian and Vittorio.

Gaspari

There is a distance enough between the traditional districts of the Gaspari holding and the Zanetti holding that the two houses more likely interact in politics or conflicts that embroils all of Matora. And while notably only at difference due to politics and affiliations of faith, there is one such notable event that holds true between both families.

During the Battle of Crocina in the province of Irsina, an uncle of the main line went to attend as all the families had decided to make defense. It was a small group under the leadership of Blaxio di Zanetti, that mentioned uncle. His troops came and waited in the wings during the battle, which seemed to be in favor of Matorian forces.

It was a member of House Gaspari that made note of this, sending the request for Blaxio to move and join. This never happened and is something of a debate between the families. As Irsina seems a long standing conflict between Matora and Vinchia, there is blame of aiding the invading force. While primarily Caroligio, its assumed there was some deal between Sacario of Vinchia and the House of Zanetti. Which Zanetti refutes to this day, even though some of the mistrust lingers between houses to this day.

Capello

There is little history between the families, though it is known Gurian and the Conte di Capello, Baldessare, both enjoy the sport of falconry. They have been known to hunt small game together with birds of prey.
