Schiavone (pronounced [skjaˈvoːne]; feminine Schiavona, plural Schiavoni) is an Italian ethnonym literally meaning "Slavs" in Old Venetian: originally, this term indicated origins in the lands of Dalmatia and Istria (in present-day Slovenia and Croatia), when under the rule of the Republic of Venice. Today it is an Italian surname.
