"Modern" self-styled version[edit]

The self-proclaimed "modern" version of the Order have *no* relation whatsoever with its historical counterpart that terminated on 12 May 1797, when the Doge and the magistrates of the Republic of Venice renounced their authority and the Maggior Consiglio abdicated and declared the end of the Repubblica di Venezia. As the Fount of honour of the order was the Republic of Venice, the extinction of the Republic caused the extinction of the Order. If anybody thinks that the self-styled "modern" version has any encyclopedic value, please open a new article dedicated, but, I repeat, it have *no* relation of any kind with the Order object of this article.
