The Order of the Golden Stole or Stola d'Oro was an adjunct order of the Order of Saint Mark, in the Republic of Venice. It had a single class, that of knight (cavaliere). Its members were those members of the Order of Saint Mark who were of patrician rank, and wore a golden, flower-embroidered mantle (the eponymous stola d'oro) as a token of this.[1]
