To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But at the death of Gradenigo's predecessor there was a rush of the people to the Piazza with " Voci e parole pun- gentissime " in a wild and sudden endeavour to push off the yoke of the regular (and most elaborate) laws which had now been in operation for many generations and to reclaim their ancient custom. The crowd coming together from all quarters of the city proclaimed the name of Jacopo Tiepolo, the son or nephew of a former doge and a man of great popularity, while still the solemn offi...cers of state were busy in arranging the obsequies of the dead doge and preparing the multitudinous ballot-boxes for the election of his successor. Had Tiepolo been a less excellent citizen, Bomanin says, civil war would almost certainly have been the issue, but he was " a man of prudence and singular goodness," a huomo da bene, who " despising the madness of the crowd " and to avoid the discord which must have followed, left the town secretly, in the midst of the tumult, and took refuge in his villa on the Brenta, the favourite retreat of Venetian nobles.
