Likhachev (1862- 1936), Member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, stored in the Western European section of the Saint Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the preparation of their full-text critical publication. The lettere ducali are an excellent source to study the Serenissima and its continental and overseas domains. The source material of the Venetian lettere ducali have long and not without reason been considered and actively investigated by researchers as one of the most important sources on the economic, social, political, legal, environmental, cultural, and ethnic history of Venice.

    Portego ITA Museo di Palazzo Mocenigo Questo grande salone centrale, da cui si dipartono le altre stanze, è tipico della struttura dei palazzi veneziani ed era destinato alle feste e alla vita di rappresentanza. I dipinti qui esposti sono perlopiù ritratti dei Mocenigo o raccontano vicende che li riguardano. Quattro dei grandi ritratti alle pareti (1,2,4,5) sono di sovrani presso i quali i Mocenigo erano ambasciatori, mentre i sette dogi appartenenti alla famiglia sono in parte ritratti sulle sovrapporte (6,8), e in parte nel lungo fregio sotto il soffitto (18,28.38,40,41) - realizzato su modello di quello della sala del Maggior Consiglio in Palazzo Ducale - assieme ad altri numerosi membri illustri del casato. Le pareti sono decorate con motivi architettonici realizzati nel 1787 da Agostino Mengozzi Colonna.

The paintings on display here are either nearly all portraits of the Mocenigo family or depict events in which they were involved. Four of the large portraits of the walls (1,2,4,5) are of the sovereigns under whom the Mocenigo family were ambassadors, while two of the seven doges from the family are portrayed above the door (6,8) and the others (18, 28,38,40,41) in the long frieze below the ceiling– inspired by the one in the Sala del Maggior Consiglio in the Doge’s Palace -, together with numerous illustrious members of the family. The walls were decorated with architectural motifs by Agostino Mengozzi Colonna in 1787. The itinerary to visit the museum begins in the room on our right, looking at the main entrance, with its marble double door.

Introduzione "Cittadini di Repubblica, ai quali singolarmente parlo, ecco la vostra guida. Possa il Gritti ora così esser utile ai suoi ammiratori, come un tempo lo fu alla sua patria."1 Uomo di Stato, ambasciatore, comandante dell'esercito, mercante, amante delle arti e della cultura. Andrea Gritti era semplicemente questo. Difficile trovare qualcuno che potesse ricoprire più ruoli in modo così straordinario, ma egli era riuscito a distinguersi in tutto, spiccando eccezionalmente in ambito militare. Se Venezia non era stata schiacciata dalla superiorità delle potenze europee nel periodo delle Guerre d'Italia il merito era stato soprattutto suo.

    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.

Samuel H. Kress Collection 1961.9.44 ENTRY Alvise I di Tommaso Mocenigo (1507–1577) was the fourth member of the Mocenigo family to become doge of Venice. His tenure in office (1570–1577) was notable for a number of historic events: the victory of the Holy League (Venice, Spain, and the Papacy) over the Turks in the sea battle of Lepanto in 1571; Venice’s controversial conclusion of a separate peace with the Turks in 1573; the visit of Henry III of France to Venice in 1574; a disastrous fire in the Palazzo Ducale in 1574; and the devastating plague of 1575–1577, which prompted the doge to take a vow to build the votive church that became Santa Maria della Salute. His ducal iconography includes his official portrait by Jacopo Tintoretto (versions of which are now in the Accademia, Venice, and Gemäldegalerie, Staatliche Museen, Berlin); his votive painting in the Palazzo Ducale, executed by Tintoretto and his studio around 1582; an incomplete compositional sketch for that work, painted during Mocenigo’s lifetime and showing a somewhat different composition (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York); and a paliotto (altar cloth) for the high altar of the Doge Alvise Mocenigo and Family before the Madonna and Child 1 © National Gallery of Art, Washington National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Italian Paintings of the Sixteenth Century basilica of San Marco, traditionally commissioned by each doge, of 1571, the design of which has been attributed to Tintoretto.
