Superintendents for the avoidance of superfluous expenses
The plague epidemic in Venice in 1575 left many public offices vacant. The plague didn't spare the rich or the powerful, and the holders of offices of state died of the plague too. The Venetian senate reacted by creating a new office of the Provveditori e Revisori sopra la scansazione e regolazione delle spese superflue — literally the "Superintendents and regulators for the avoidance and regulation of superfluous expenses."
The full title was rather long, so usually the title was just the Scansadori alle spese superflue — the Avoiders of superfluous expenses — or just the Scansadori.
