SENATO. DELIBERAZIONI MISTE: The Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti is publishing the registers of the Venetian Senate for the period up to the war of Chioggia (1381), in a total of twenty volumes. This will make available documentary material of ex- traordinary importance for historic research. The Consiglio dei Rogati o dei Pregadi (Consilium Rogatorum), later the Senate, was possibly set up in 1229-1230 as an organ of support to the Great Council. Its function soon moved from that of preliminary inquiry and advice on matters of trade and navigation to decision-making, eventually in HYHU\DVSHFWRIHFRQRPLFÀQDQFLDODQGDGPLQLVWUDWLYHPDWWHUVDQGRILQWHUQDODQGH[WHUQDOSROLF\2YHUWKH\HDUVWKH Consiglio dei Rogati became the most important of the Venetian councils, at the heart of the institutional order.

Il sistema politico vene- ziano conserva però la sua originalità, diventando anzi del tutto eccezionale, per non dire unico, nel contesto internazi- onale del periodo moderno. Ed è proprio durante l’epoca moderna che si fanno sentire voci di donne che esprimono dissenso e critica della condizione femminile nella Repub- blica, e basti pensare alle opere di Moderata Fonte, Lucrezia Marinella o Arcangela Tarabotti. Un dissenso che, non solo ha trovato lo spazio per esprimersi, tanto che si è potuto parlare di un primo “femminismo” che sarebbe nato proprio a Venezia, ma che, a ben guardare, ha una precisa con- notazione sociale, venendo non dal gruppo patrizio, ma da quel ceto “cittadino” che, pur condividendo con il patriziato cultura e spazi economici, era escluso dal potere politico. Integrare le questioni familiari e la legislazione che se ne occupa nell’analisi del funzionamento di un regime politico ci sembra un approccio interessante e innovativo, in linea con talune ricerche recenti su altri Stati italiani ed europei, oltre che un modo nuovo di indagare un vecchissimo tema
