A similar clock by Camerini dated 1653, in the Museo Villa Madanza, in Torino, is described and illustrated by Enrico Morpurgo in Dizionario rlegli Orologiai lialiani, Milano 1974, p. 218. Another one, dated 1662, in the Smithonian Institut, Washington is described by Giuseppe Brusa in L'Arte dell' Orologeria in Europa, Bramantc Editrice 1978, page 418 and illustrated fig. 290-291. Joint coat-of-arms of the families Vannutelli-Bellentani and Vannutelli-Chaurand: the arms of Vannutelli-Bellentani bear a star, chevron and "fleur de lys" coupled to a weasel seizing and devouring a lizard; those of Vannutelli-Chaurand feature a star, chevron and "fleur de lys" coupled with a star and crescent moon. The Vannutelli Family: the coat-of-arms of this family, recorded in Rome, is designed with a central chevron dividing the upper part featuring three stars with eight points from the lower part with thr ee "fleur de lys". This family originated f rom the Bergamo area, moved to the Roman States at the end of the 16th century. At the beginning of the 18th century, the family was established in Genazzano and one of its branches was later bestowed the title of count by the Holy See; this branch disappeared without successors in 1898. From another branch, The Church ordained two cardinals, Serafino and Vincenzo. The title of Count, to be handed clown to the elder son, was given again to a third branch by H. M. Vittorio Emanuele III; the head of this branch of the family was Giampaolo, who had left Genazzano to reside in Rome around 1750. The Vannutelli Rey branch of the family takes its roots when Luigi and Oreste Vannutelli, sons of Count Enrico Vannutelli and Faustina Rey, were permitted by a decree in 1916 to add Rey to their name. Luigi Vannutelli Rey was named Ambassador to H. M. the King of Italy, in Rome, on August 19, 1880. The Bellentani Family: the coat-of-arms, divided diagonally, bears a double-headed and crowned eagle on the upper part and on the lower part a weasel seizing and devouring a green lizard. The family is recorded in Modena and its motto is "Saepe jovis telo quecus adusta viret". The family originated from Carpi and was known as one of the oldest and most important families of that city. The Bellentani are a branch of the Polentani, from Ravenna, who moved to Carpi. Writings from September 30, 1658, indicate that Gian Casimiro, King of Poland, conceded to Monsignor Alessandro Bellentani di Carpi, in gratitude for services rendered, the right to add to his own arms those of the Royal House of Sweden, and making him, together with his brothers Flaminio and Gian Battista, nobles of Poland. In Poland, on May 6, 1664, the same king named Monsignor Alessandro Count of Volmar. Monsignor Alessandro Bellentani died in Carpi in 1692, archpriest of that cathedral. From this branch of the Bellentani family, which disappeared without successors towards the end of the 18th century, came Count Francesco, first bishop of Carpi (1780-1793). Another branch of the family was established in Modena in the first half of the 17th century with Paolo Bellentani. Later, Guido Bellentani (1777- 1850), son of Antonio, who in turn was the grand-nephew of Paolo Bellentani, obtained from the Duke of Modena, Francesco IV, (decree of December 30, 1827) the title of Count at perpetuity for himself and his descendants. The Chaurand Family, Chaurand de Saint Eustache: the coat-ofarms divided in two parts features a star above and a crescent moon below. The motto reads "Parcere subiectis et debellare superbos" and this family by the title of count is from Bergamo, Florence and Turin. Documents on this family indicate that it originated from the Lyon area of France and was established at the end of the 17th centur y at Sospello in the Alpes Maritimes since the head of the family was at the service of the Duke of Savoy. Prior to that time, it would seem that the family might have been in Haute Savoie not only due to its name Chaurand which could well be a transformation of Cheran, a region southwest of the Lake of Annecy, but also because there are the ruins of the castle of Saint-Eustache. The title of Count was granted by royal decree on May 16, 1926.
