	Doge - LoveToKnow 1911
		The doge held office for life and was regarded as the ecclesiastical, the civil and the military chief; his duties and prerogatives were not defined with precision and the limits of his ability and ambition were practically the limits of his power.
		After the abdication of Doge Pietro Ziani in 1229 two commissions were appointed which obtained a permanent place in the constitution and which gave emphatic testimony to the fact that the doge was merely the highest servant of the community.
		One of the principal duties of the doge was to celebrate the symbolic marriage of Venice with the sea.

	The Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale), Venice, Italy - information and booking.
		The Palazzo Ducale, or Doge’s Palace, was the seat of the government of Venice for centuries.
		As well as being the home of the Doge (the elected ruler of Venice) it was the venue for its law courts, its civil administration and bureaucracy and — until its relocation across the Bridge of Sighs — the city jail.
		The doge sat on numerous of the committees and thus played a huge role in steering policy; the principle of rule for life was an attempt to establish stability, a mature check on the whims of temporarily elected officials … not unlike Britain’s House of Lords.

	Doge of Venice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Whether or not the first doges were technically local representatives of the Emperor at Constantinople, the doge like the Emperor held office for life and was similarly regarded as the ecclesiastical, the civil and the military leader, in a power structure termed caesaropapism.
		While doges had great temporal power at first, after 1268, the doge was constantly under strict surveillance: he must wait for other officials to be present before opening dispatches from foreign powers; he was not allowed to possess any property in a foreign land.
		One of the ceremonial duties of the doge was to celebrate the symbolic marriage of Venice with the sea.

	Painting treatment: Tintoretto's 'Doge Pietro Loredano'
		The portrait of the Venetian Doge Pietro Loredano (1482-1570) by Jacopo Tintoretto (1518-94) was the artist's first commission as the Republic's sensaria, or official painter.
		However, the present painting was not the official portrait that hung in the Doge's Palace by St. Mark's Square in Venice - that was destroyed in a Palace fire in 1577.
		This picture is, in all probability, the initial canvas which the artist painted the sitter from life and kept in his studio as a model for later versions, as was customary in painting studios in sixteenth century Venice.

	Doge's Palace, Palazzo Ducale, Dogenpalast: Photo/Foto/Picture by Tomoko Yamamoto
		The Doge's Palace in Venice is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, and it has been made over the centuries, but the wing facing the St. Mark's basin (as shown in the photo) is the oldest and was built from 1340 onward under Doge Bartolomeo Gradenigo (1339-1343).
		It is interesting to note that although the word, palace or "palazzo" in Italian" was used, the office of Doge was not hereditary, but it was an elected office throughout its more than one thousand years' of history.
		The essence of the façade structure is the portico with big columns at the top forming a pointed arch and the loggia, an open-sided gallery, is supported by a column forming a pointed arch with inflection and on the top a quatrefoil frieze.
