Pietro Tribuno (died 912) was the Doge of Venice from 887 to his death.
He was the son of Domenico Tribuno and Agnella,the niece of Pietro Tradonico. [1] He succeeded Pietro I Candiano,following a brief period during which the elderly and infirm Giovanni II Participazio administered the city.
Immediately after his succession,he began negotiations with the successors of Charles the Fat. In 888,he negotiated a treaty with Arnulf of Carinthia and again in 891. The first treaty secured for the jurisdiction over Venetian citizens abroad. The intent of this clause was to increase Venetian trade in the Carolingian Empire by extending to such merchants who did so trade the protection of their own laws. The economic benefits were immediate and the 890s saw growth in Venice's relatively new iron industry. Meanwhile,land reclamation continued apace.
In 898,the Magyars invaded Venetia for the first time,but this raid turned out to be a precursor to something more permanent. In 899,the whole of Lombardy was overrun. The Magyars then turned on Venice. First Cittanova,Fine,and Equilo fell,and then Altino. Finally,advancing past Chioggia and Pellestrina towards Malamocco,the Magyars arrived at Albiola to meet a vast Venetian host under Tribuno awaiting them. The Magyars used small coracles for water crossings and these proved massively inefficient against the Venetian galleys. The Magyars were routed in the first great Venetian military victory since the defeat of Pepin of Italy almost a century prior.
After the Magyar flight,Tribuno set to work improving the inner defences of the Rialto. He constructed a vast wall from eastern Olivolo to the Riva degli Schiavoni and thence to Santa Maria Zobenigo. He also stretched a gigantic chain across the Grand Canal from S. Gregorio on Dorsoduro to a site now occupied by the Palazzo Gaggia. According to the chronicler John the Deacon,writing a century later,with the construction of this wall Venice became a civitas ,often translated "city;" an event marking a turning point in Venetian history.
Tribuno died in 912 and was buried in S. Zaccaria. His dogaressa was Angela Sanudo. He was succeeded by Orso II Participazio.
Year 932 (CMXXXII) was a leap year starting on Sunday of the Julian calendar.
Year 912 (CMXII) was a leap year starting on Wednesday of the Julian calendar.
The Republic of Venice or Venetian Republic,traditionally known as La Serenissima,was a sovereign state and maritime republic in parts of the present-day Italian Republic that existed for 1,100 years from 697 until 1797. Centered on the lagoon communities of the prosperous city of Venice,it incorporated numerous overseas possessions in modern Croatia,Slovenia,Montenegro,Greece,Albania and Cyprus. The republic grew into a trading power during the Middle Ages and strengthened this position during the Renaissance. Most citizens spoke the Venetian language,although publishing in Italian became the norm during the Renaissance,alongside Latin and Medieval Greek.
St Mark's Campanile is the bell tower of St Mark's Basilica in Venice,Italy. The current campanile is a reconstruction completed in 1912,the previous tower having collapsed in 1902. At 98.6 metres (323 ft) in height,it is the tallest structure in Venice and is colloquially termed "el paròn de casa". It is one of the most recognizable symbols of the city.
Pietro I Candiano was briefly the sixteenth Doge of Venice in 887.
Pietro II Candiano was the nineteenth Doge of Venice between 932 and 939. He followed Orso II Participazio (912–932) to become Doge in 932.

Leonardo Loredan was a Venetian nobleman and statesman who reigned as the 75th Doge of Venice from 1501 until his death in 1521. As a wartime ruler,he was one of the most important doges in the history of Venice. In the dramatic events of the early 16th century,Loredan's Machiavellian plots and cunning political manoeuvres against the League of Cambrai,the Ottomans,the Mamluks,the Pope,the Republic of Genoa,the Holy Roman Empire,the French,the Egyptians and the Portuguese saved Venice from downfall.
Pietro Tradonico was Doge of Venice from 836 to 864. He was,according to tradition,the thirteenth doge,though historically he is only the eleventh. His election broke the power of the Participazio family.
Agnello Participazio was the tenth traditional and eighth (historical) doge of the Duchy of Venetia from 811 to 827. He was born to a rich merchant family from Heraclea and was one of the earliest settlers in the Rivoalto group of islands. His family had provided a number of tribuni militum of Rivoalto. He owned property near the Church of Santi Apostoli. A building in the nearby Campiello del Cason was the residence of the tribunes. Agnello was married to the dogaressa Elena.
Pietro IV Candiano (925–976) was the twenty-second (traditional) or twentieth (historical) doge of Venice from 959 to his death. He was the eldest son of Pietro III Candiano,with whom he co-reigned and whom he was elected to succeed.
Giovanni II Participazio was the thirteenth (historical) or fifteenth (traditional) Doge of Venice after the death of his father,Orso I,in 881 until his resignation in 887. Prior to that,he co-ruled with his father.
The Republic of Venice was a sovereign state and maritime republic in Northeast Italy,which existed for a millennium between the 8th century and 1797.
Domenico Selvo was the 31st Doge of Venice,serving from 1071 to 1084. During his reign as Doge,his domestic policies,the alliances that he forged,and the battles that the Venetian military won and lost laid the foundations for much of the subsequent foreign and domestic policy of the Republic of Venice. He avoided confrontations with the Byzantine Empire,the Holy Roman Empire,and the Roman Catholic Church at a time in European history when conflict threatened to upset the balance of power. At the same time,he forged new agreements with the major nations that would set up a long period of prosperity for the Republic of Venice. Through his military alliance with the Byzantine Empire,Emperor Alexios I Komnenos awarded Venice economic favors with the declaration of a golden bull that would allow for the development of the republic's international trade over the next few centuries.
Otto Orseolo was the Doge of Venice from 1008 to 1026. He was the third son of Doge Pietro II of the House of Orseolo,and Maria Candiano,whom he succeeded at the age of sixteen,becoming the youngest doge in Venetian history.
The House of Loredan is a Venetian noble family of supposed ancient Roman origin,which has played a significant role in shaping the history of the entire Mediterranean.

This article presents a detailed timeline of the history of the Republic of Venice from its legendary foundation to its collapse under the efforts of Napoleon.
The Diocese of Castello,originally the Diocese of Olivolo,is a former Roman Catholic diocese that was based on the city of Venice in Italy. It was established in 774,covering the islands that are now occupied by Venice. Throughout its existence there was tension between the diocese,the Patriarchate of Grado to which it was nominally subordinate,and the Doge of Venice. Eventually in 1451 the diocese and the patriarchate were merged to form the Archdiocese of Venice.
The Croatian–Venetian wars were a series of periodical,punctuated medieval conflicts and naval campaigns waged for control of the northeastern coast of the Adriatic Sea between the city-state of Venice and the Principality of Croatia,at times allied with neighbouring territories –the Principality of the Narentines and Zahumlje in the south and Istrian peninsula in the north. First struggles occurred at the very beginning of the existence of two conflict parties,they intensified in the 9th century,lessened during the 10th century,but intensified again since the beginning of the 11th century.
