Inspiration for Text:

‘The Prince’ by Machiavelli, James 3:13, and the structures of the Venetian government. La Serenissima Regina means ‘most serene Queen’. The mazor consegio was a self-nominating legislative body, and that works as an analogue for the self nominating Cross. The collegio were yet another government body, which works as an equivalent to the College of Heralds in name and function. |
