The Salamon family - sometimes Salomon or Salomoni - was a patrician Venetian noble family of ancient but uncertain origin, counted among the so-called “Case Vecchie” (Old Houses) of the Republic of Venice.

According to some sources,[2][3][4] they would derive from the aristocratic Centranico-Barbolano family, and they moved from Salerno or Cesena before living in Torcello and finally in Venice.

[8] The Salamons were admitted to the patriciate of Venice since the "Serrata del Maggior Consiglio" (Great Council Lockout) in 1297.

Numerous members of the family - particularly in the 16th century - held the position of "podestà" (i.e. mayor), on behalf of the Serenissima, in some cities under Venetian rule, including Treviso, Vicenza, Bergamo, Crema, Pola, Parenzo and Capodistria.

The variants "Salomon" and "Salomoni", that sometimes appear in documents, are probably normalizations or adaptations of the original form "Salamon".
