Nicolò Tron (diplomat)

Nicolò Tron (21 September 1685 – 31 January 1771) was an Italian politician, businessman and agronomist, a citizen of the Republic of Venice.

A Venetian noble, Tron was a young ambassador of the Republic of Venice at the English court; back in Italy, he tried to import the technological and organizational innovations seen abroad, founding the Schio woollen mill, organizing his agricultural estates with modern methods, and activating himself in using his political influence to favour and encourage his own Venetian businesses.
