Throughout history, marriage has been used as a method of creating
and strengthening bonds between elites and the societies over which
they ruled. Nowhere is this more apparent than in early modern
Venice, where members of the patriciate looked to marital alliances
with outsider brides to help maintain their position and social
distinction in a fluid society. This book explores the parameters
of upward social mobility, contemporary evaluations of social
status and moral behaviour, and the place of marriage and
concubinage within patrician society. Drawing heavily on the
records of the Avogaria di Comun, which had the task of examining
the social backgrounds and moral reputations of women from outside
the patriciate who wished to marry patricians, this study provides
a fascinating reconstruction of Venetian society as it was seen by
individuals at every level.
