Coat of arms of the Princes of San Donato

The Principality of San Donato was created by Leopold II, Grand Duke of Tuscany, for the Italophile member of the Russian nobility, Anatoly Nikolaievich Demidov in 1840, so that Demidov could marry Mathilde Bonaparte, niece of Napoleon, without her losing the title of Princess.
