Vera O Presunta Data Di Nascita, L'anno Della Così Detta Prova Della vera o presunta data di nascita, l’anno della così detta prova della balla d’oro, che cominciò regolarmente a funzionare in quell’anno e che veniva fatta dai patrizi fra i 18 ed i 25 anni; età quest’ultima della loro legale entrata nel Maggior Consiglio. Di tutti i dogi, eccezione fatta per nove, si sa dalle cronache e dalle storie, meno per qualcuno dei più antichi sui quali esiste qualche incertezza, dove siano stati sepolti. Risulta così che sono stati sepolti ad Eraclea due, a Mantova uno, nell’abazia di S. Ilario presso Fusina cinque, a Grado due, a S. Felice di Ammiana due, nell’abazia di Cuxa nel Rossiglione uno, a Ravenna uno, a Murano: due a S. Cipriano, uno a S. Maria degli Angeli ed uno a S. Chiara; uno a S. Sofia di Costantinopoli; a V e ­ nezia: due in chiese non precisate, sei nella chiesa di S. Zaccaria, nove nella chiesa di S. Marco, cinque a S. Giorgio Maggiore, due a S. Croce di Luprio, diciannove ai Ss. Giovanni e Paolo, sei a S. Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, uno a S. Maria della Celestia, tre a S. Ste­ fano, uno a S. Marina, due a S. Maria dei Servi, due a S. Maria della Carità, due a S. Antonio di Castello, sei a S. Francesco del­ la Vigna, uno a S. Salvatore, due a S. Domenico di Castello, tre a S. Giobbe, uno a S. Maria Assunta dei Gesuiti, uno z S. Giuseppe di Castello, uno a S. Lorenzo, quattro a S. Nicolò da Tolentino, uno a S. Maria Nova, uno a S. Martino, uno a S. Bonaventura, uno a S. Andrea di Zirada, uno a S. Benedetto, due a S. Eustacchio (S. Stae), due agli Scalzi, uno alla Madonna dell’Orto, due a S. A n ­ drea della Certosa e uno a S. Nicolò del Lido. Pietro Tradonico è stato il primo sepolto a Venezia, dove tutti gli altri riposano, da Domenico Selvo in poi, eccezione fatta per Enrico Dandolo sepolto a Costantinopoli, per Pietro Polani, Pietro Gradenigo, Sebastiano Venier e Nicolò Donà a Murano. Il più antico monumento esistente è quello di Vitale Falier a S. Marco, poi vengono quelli di Jacopo e Lorenzo Tiepolo ai Ss. Giovanni e Paolo, di Marino Morosini a S. Marco, di Renier Zeno ' 9.

There are few more satisfactory books for a student who wishes to dig out the Paris of the past from the im- mense superincumbent mass of coffee-houses, kiosks, fashionable hotels, and other temples of civilisation, beneath which it is now submerged. Florence is more easily dug up, as you have only to go into the picture galleries, or into the churches or museums, whither Mr. Allen's^ guide accordingly conducts you, and tells you what to look at if you want to understand the art treasures of the city.

  • Coins of Venice the First Town in Italy to Mint Silver Coins of a Stable Quantity and Purity Was Venice, Which on the Eve Of
    Appendix 3 coins of Venice the first town in italy to mint silver coins of a stable quantity and purity was Venice, which on the eve of the fourth crusade, under doge enrico dandolo (1105 ?–1205; r. as doge of Venice 1192–1205) began to strike denari grossi with a silver content of .985 and an ideal weight of 2.18 grams. they differed from other silver coins of the same age by being a pure silver rather than a gold-silver alloy coin and by its beaded ring lined up with the edge of the flan. thus clipping of the coins was prevented and it could thus be transacted by count rather than having to be weighed. the old penny which shortly thereafter assumed the name of “small” penny or piccolo stood to the grosso most plausibly in a relationship of 1: 24. the grosso was used in large-scale commerce and credit, while the piccolo served the needs of local trade in towns and countryside and in the payment of wages. While the grosso remained unchanged for almost 200 years, the relation of the piccolo to the grosso started to deteriorate. exchange rates of 1231, 1259, and 1265 amount to 25, 26 2/3, and 27 piccoli per grosso. in february 1267 the official exchange rate was set at 26.11, in december of the same year at 28, and in may 1282 at 32 piccoli per grosso.1 the first truly successful gold coin was the celebrated florin, which was struck by the florentines in 1252. it was a pure gold coin of an intended weight of 3.545 grams.2 many references list giovanni dandolo (r.

  • Long Live the King? Death As a Term Limit on Executives*
    Long Live the King? Death as a Term Limit on Executives* Daniel J. Smith† George R. Crowley‡ J. Sebastian Leguizamon§ Abstract Can informal term limits place binding constraints on executives? And, are there conditions under which an electorate would forego formal term limits in favor of informal term limits? Formal term limits face three primary problems: they can be dispensed by powerful executives, they limit electorate discretion on term length, and they artificially shorten an executive’s time horizon. This paper extends the literature on term limits by building a model of informal term limits which overcomes these deficiencies. Our model demonstrates that an electorate could use the death of a lifetime-appointed executive, based on their projected life expectancy, to enforce binding, informal term limits. Informal term limits would enable the electorate to exercise discretion in adjusting tenure lengths when considering the tradeoff between the expected benefits of regime stability, such as experience, and the expected costs of long tenures, including the possibility of tyranny. In addition, this informal term limit would be congruent with an executive’s natural time horizon. Informal term limits would be most advantageous to an electorate fearful of both internal (tyranny) and external (military conquest) threats. A historical case study of ducal elections in late Middle Age and Renaissance Venice provides evidence of an electorate in this circumstance, the patricians of Venice, imposing informal term limits on their executives utilizing the projected life expectancy of ducal candidates at election.

It is the fairy city of man sat up ever rising waters. Venice sits at the gateway of the classical and medieval world, ancient nexus now nothing more than a city sized, water logged, museum of the renaissance. However, Venice may no longer be a centre of the mortal world, but it has remained the centre of the world for those that live behind the shadows. Venice has a dynamic, colourful and sordid history since the fall of the Roman Empire and has always been influenced by those other beings that take an interest in human affairs. One particular group is the Lost. Just as the original founders of the city fled the invading Huns, so did the Lost flee from the captivity of Keepers.
