Coronation of Venice Doge described with pageantry and gun salutes
The Historical Register recounts a grand Venetian election and coronation. Nobles in ceremonial robes, a throne in the Grand Council, a royal procession along the canal, gold and silver coins scattered to the crowd, Te Deum at St Mark's, and a grand ball at the Ducal Palace. The account notes the last Doge with the same name, elected July 1700 and dying May 1905.
