 | | Combined, the office of the Doge and his Palace were the very symbols of the Venetian Republic. | | | His place in Venetian history is marked by a black veil in the Ballot Chamber, where the portraits of the other Doges are displayed with honor. | | | The election of the Doge also preserved the Venetian way of life. |

| | His first act as Doge was to punish the assassination of his predecessor, Vitale Michiel, who, for what was held to be the bad management of an Eastern campaign which utterly and disastrously failed, and for other reasons, was killed by the mob outside S. Zaccaria. | | | Yet one ought not to cavil, for it stands so bravely on the spot where its predecessor fell, and this is a very satisfactory proof that the Venetians, for all the decay of their lovely city and the disappearance of their marvellous power, are Venetians still. | | | Sightseers now claim the palace, and the administrators of Venetian affairs meet in the Municipio, or Town Hall, on the Grand Canal. |

| | While doges had great temporal power at first, after 1268, the doge was under strict surveillance: he must wait for other officials to be present before opening despatches from foreign powers; he was forbidden to leave the city and was not allowed to possess any property in a foreign land. | | | When a new doge was chosen, before he took the oath of investiture he was presented to the people with the formula "This is your doge, if it please you," preserving the constitutional fiction that the people of Venice ratified the selection. | | | Doges of Venice were elected by the city-state's aristocracy. |
