Jacopo Tiepolo
Of the tombs of the 120 doges of the Venetian Republic, many of the early burials are lost.
One of the earliest surviving tombs is not of one doge, but of two.
It is also by far the easiest to see, and probably the least noticed. In short, one of those Venetian treasures — hidden in plain view — which everybody sees, but few notices.
The sarcophagus is located on the façade of the Basilica dei SS Giovanni e Paolo in the Sestiere Castello.
It is the burial of Jacopo Tiepolo, the 43rd doge of Venice, and of his son, Lorenzo Tiepolo, the 46th doge.

Bianca Cappello had eloped to Florence with her lover, whom she soon after married. She then became the mistress of the prince regent of the Duchy of Florence. Her husband took a mistress of his own, but her family murdered him on Blanca’s doorstep. Does all that sound bad? Well, it’s getting worse.

Venice appeared as a kind of, but not quite, sovereign polity in the late 700s and 800s. Venetian society, no longer governed directly by Constantinople, nor really independent, had to survive between the two super-powers of their time, Byzantium and the Carolingian Empire.
