Martinengo family

It was above all in the 16th century that this Brescian family, or rather clan of interrelated families, provided Venetian armies, in peacetime as well as in war, with a steady supply of condottieri and infantry captains. Girolamo (d. 1570) and Marcantonio (d. 1595) were also prominent among Venetian military engineers.
