The Fonte family moved from Bergamo to Venice, where they were
merchants. They settled in the parish of the Madonna dell'Orto.
A certain Giulio Fonte, merchant, is cited by the Avogaria was witness
in 1605: "D. Julius Fonte mercator, habitator Venetiarum in contracta
S. Marcialis in domo super rivo S. Mariae ab horto".
This family was anexed to the Maggior Consiglio in 1646, after paying
the usual tribute of 100,000 "ducati". The Fontes of La Madonna
dell'Orto died out in 1766.
There was another family Fonte, perhaps a branch of the same, which
lived at La Maddalena.
