Overall: Interesting article! Nit-picks: I'd add the year to the hook to give bit of context; since Favaro cites his sources for the hook fact, I'd be inclined to add those as citations; presumably "Parolin period" not "Parotin period"? Oh, and were the Cinque Savi really a part of the government of the Republic, or of the city administration (I know I don't know)? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:59, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. "Parolin", yes, oops! See here re the Cinque Savi - pretty clear they cover the whole republic, & of course Nove isn't actually in the city. I think one of the characteristics of the R of V was that, given their history, there was barely any distinction between "a part of the government of the Republic" and "the city administration". Date added to hook - same source. I'll deal with the rest later; too sunny just now! Johnbod (talk) 14:14, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
