All about Zakynthos

"The imposing basia on the north side of the Planetarium Mansion opened onto a paved courtyard.

From its middle a marble staircase ascended to the "piano nobile": a vast ballroom and salons with assorted furniture and oil paintings. . . " remembers Nikias Luntzis.

The Nafplio feudal family of Planitou moved to Zakynthos around 1509, after the beheading of Theodore Planitou by the Turks.

Konstantinos Planeteros asked to be enrolled "in the noble class and failed", notes Zois. He was enrolled, however, with the assistance of Duke Morozini, although the nobles of Zakynthos did not accept him.
