Piero di Paxiti da Vincenza
Persona
According to some of the earliest “Forward Into the Past” presenter notes, Piero di Paxiti da Vincenza is a man well-known to the authorities in Venice, who travels with caution, drinks in moderation, and very rarely speaks of his work.
Piero prefers he/him pronouns, but is not averse to any. He doesn't often stand for ceremonial titles, but uses Master or Maestro most commonly.
Whereabouts
Piero is located in Royal Citie of Eoforwic, within the Barony of Septentria, though he started in early 1990 in the Canton of Bryniau Tywynnog
Heraldry
In 1994, while Ealdormere was part of the Midrealm, Piero registered the following arms: Argent, a bow fesswise drawn and with an arrow nocked sable within an orle vert semy of acorns Or.
Current Office(s)
Not currently serving as an officer, though I have adopted the role of Junior Deputy in Training (or something) of the Ealdormere Cartographers Guild.
Past Offices
Has served as signet for the former Principality of Ealdormere. Has served as seneschal for the Canton of Ardchreag.
SCA History and Interests
Piero joined in 1990, introduced to the Society through a friend Brand in the Canton of Bryniau Tywynnog. He quickly became interested in calligraphy and illumination, but also pursuing several other passtimes within the Society (some level of skill though not necessarily much talent at sewing, brewing, dancing, embroidery, table games, cooking, studying and teaching cryptography and other diversions)
He currently does much of his creative work with friends especially with the “Barrington House”, and spends most of his efforts in the Scribal Arts.
In 2013, though he had taken no apprenticeship, Line of Corwyn and Domhnail surprised him by begging the boon of Trumbrand II and Kaylah II that he be considered for the Order of the Laurel and that Pennsic, by Their Royal Majesties' hands, it was made so.

Other Activities
One page of Ealdormere's Scroll of Honour has painting by Piero, while four different pages thereof feature inkwork by him.
Piero is proud to have been called “Hand of the King”, especially since he is still alive to boast of it.
Piero was known originally within the Society as “Blain Sylvanus”, and though he adopted and thoroughly documented his new name Piero before 2000, he never bothered to officially register it with the College of Heralds until Pennsic in 2019.
