Venice, ambassadors, Collegio, Senate, cursus honorumAbstract
In this paper we will endeavor to inquire the origin and political career of the Venetian ambassadors in the Spanish court during the reign of Philip IV, as well as delimit the essential elements in the face of their election as legacies of the Serenissima. In view of this, it should be noted that, in regard to electoral processes, Venetian law was extremely stern: seeking to limit the presence of members of the same household in the different embassies or to reduce the prominence of non-institutional relations, whom were considered corruption. Notwithstanding, in the following pages we will try to highlight the ineffectiveness of these regulatory mechanisms to minimize the influence of personal and family interests in order to obtain such important representation positions.
