Gherardo III da Camino

Gherardo III da Camino (c. 1240 – 1306), son of Biaquino and India da Camposampiero, was the most outstanding lord of the Trevisan da Camino family. He received the seignory of Feltre and Belluno from their bishop in 1266. He expelled the Ghibellines from Treviso on 15 November 1283, after which he was elected capitano generale.

A tyrannical but efficient ruler, he boosted Treviso's economy and patronised arts and feasts, hosting Dante Alighieri at his court. His later years saw repeated plots, the last in 1305 by his son Rizzardo, and he died in 1306.
