It is odd that Venice does not make more acclamation of Giustiniano (or Partecipazio II).

To his brother Giovanni, who early had shown regrettable sympathy with the Franks and had been banished accordingly, Giustiniano bequeathed the Dogeship (as was then possible), and it was in his reign (829-836) that S.Mark's was begun.
The last Doge in this room is Girolamo Priuli (1559-1567), of whom nothing of account is remembered save that it was he who invited Tintoretto to work in the palace and on one of the ceilings.

You may see his portrait in one of the rooms, from Tintoretto's brush, in the company of Venice, Justice, S.Mark and the Lion.
Of the others of the six-and-seventy Doges around the room I do not here speak.

The names of such as are important will be found elsewhere throughout this book, as we stand beside their tombs or glide past their palaces.
Before leaving the Hall one should, as I have said, walk to the balcony, the door of which the custodian opens for each visitor with a mercenary hand.

It should of course be free to all; and Venice would do well to appoint some official (if such could be found) to enforce such liberties.
