All about Zakynthos

The Rukani mansion was located on the north side of the church of St. Nicholas the Elder, and was given as a dowry to Andriani Rukani, mother of the poet Andreas Kalvos.

The Rukani family is found in Zakynthos since 1504 and disappears after 1805 with the death of Nikolaos Rukani, since he managed to give through Andriana Nikolaos Rukani the poet Andreas Kalvos, who was born and grew up until the age of 10 in the mansion of the Rukanis, in the district of Ag. Nicholas the Elder.
