Can u find aquino family history and coat of arms?

aquino of naples italy

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: There isn't one. I ran through the Italian heraldry database and the Aquino family of Naples was never awarded a coat of arms. There is a misconception that having a name makes you an inheritor of any heraldry awarded to any person in the world having the same surname at any point in history. But this is false. Instead, the heraldry honors went to one man. He alone was allowed to display that shield and those honors. When he died, they passed ONLY to his oldest son. Like property, heraldry honors were part of a man's estate and were not subject to being divided.

So while there was a man named Aquino from Venice who was once awarded a crest, it belongs to his 11th great grandson now and he's not sharing it. He's the current Doge of Venice. Unless you're his oldest son, you'd have a problem claiming it as your own.
