			== History ==
			<p>Historically, ''scuole'', notable families, and other organizations used flagstaff pedestals for various purposes, including identifying certain areas as their property, or marking the location of an important organization. Venetians also used them for religious purposes, allowing pedestrians to easily identify churches and convents. Over time, a variety of flags flew from these poles, and some of the pedestals themselves were altered, changing their significance to the public forever, and removing historical records of the flagstaff pedestals original purpose.</p>

			In addition to religious and identification purposes it was also used for maritime trade and military intent. Venice established its trading posts due to its strategic location in Europe and on the water. This forced other countries to trade through or with Venice to access goods. As Venice grew in power and economy, its citizens crafted many flagstaff pedestals near the water and around the city’s ''campi'' to signal arriving shops and marked territory. These pedestals often featured artistic and religious motifs and served both mercantile and military purposes, symbolizing Venice’s prominent and its cities prominent authority. The presence of these flagstaff pedestals reflects Venice’s historical role as a dominant maritime power and the socioeconomic ramifications of its trading success.
