There is no grant of
arms in existence;
however, the arms are
represented in the late
XVIII century maiden
portrait of Domenica,
daughter of Santo, and a
much older stone
carving. The family is
an ancient extinct
Burgher family that
resided in the outskirts
of Verona, Italy, under
the Republic of Venice.
The arms are partially
canting as they display
hands (Mani), though it
is only an onomatopoeia
(the surname is of
German origin, from
Mann-Fried).
The motto “Omnia Tempus
Habent” comes from the
Bible, Ecclesiastes 3:1.
At
Santo's death, his
daughter Domenica
inherited the arms; she
is the last known member
of the family.
The
arms have been
registered at the
request of Daniele
Scarpi, whose third
great-grandfather
married Domenica in
1812.
