The device "Or, a ship in full sail between three cinquefoil vert all
within a double tressure sable" appears to be clear.<br>
As far as I can tell, it's clear without the tressure as well (there
are very few vert ships).<br>
<br>
As for the name - <br>
<br>
Appendix A of SENA says double given names are found in Italian names,
so that's no problem.<br>
<br>
Documenting Alessandra is fairly easy. It can be found in the
following documents:<br>

I have not found Lucianna anywhere. The closest is Lucia (found in all
three documents above) and <span>Luchina (found in the last document
above).<br>
<br>
I have not found Giancomo but have found Giacomo (without the 'n') as a
common male given name (also Giano, </span><span>Giacomino, and
several variation).</span><span> It appears patronymic bynames were
used but I'm not clear on the syntax (Giacomino as a given names seems
to turn into Giacomini as a byname, so Giacomo might be Giacomi as a
patronymic byname) and whether it should be preceded by 'di'.
Appendix A of SENA says Italian patronymics are "</span>Marked (as <em>di
B)</em>, multi-generational, unmarked, Latinized", "Italian is
incredibly variable in period, with names from Venice, Tuscany, and the
south all significantly different", "Latinized patronymic bynames
usually are just the father's name in the genitive form, without <em>filius</em>/<em>filia"
</em>and "Family names typically modify a patronym or byname by
removing the last vowel (if there is one) and adding –i. Unmodified
forms are found as well".<br>

A Note on Names. - Surnames. (SURNAM1, SURNAM2) says:<br>
"Surnames
were often derived from patronymics (Alberti from Albero, Capponi from
Cappone, Ridolfi from Ridolfo), although this was not automatic. The
Capponi for instance, whose first prior was in 1287, adopted a stable
surname only toward the middle of the fourteenth century. "<br>
<br>
There is one of the De Felice Italian name books in the Tir Righ
Heraldic Library (I can't remember if it is first names or surnames - </span>Dizionario
dei [nomi or cognomi]
italiani<span>). Perhaps ask Aline to check and see if any of the
names is in it, and what it says (it's in Italian so someone may need
to translate).<br>
<br>
That's the best I can do without more information on where she found
the name elements.<br>
