Venetian diplomacy |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The diplomacy of the mercantile and seafaring republic of Venice, which was originally shaped in the Byzantine pattern but eventually developed a quite distinct tradition. Until the republic was extinguished by Napoleon in 1797, the Venetian diplomatic service, which is generally believed to have been the first organized and closely supervised diplomatic service to have been created, was regarded as the model for all Europe. Carefully selected, subject to the most austere regulations, and highly motivated to serve the republic, until the end Venetian diplomats continued to be regarded as the best informed men in the diplomatic corps of any capital city. See also bailo; Barbaro; calendar; relazione. |
