Filippo Calendario

By the end of the 13th century the existing Doge's Palace in Venice needed enlarging.

Calendario first appears in official records in 1340, when he is described as a master of two small boats, used to transport stone for construction.

[2] The new building was in the Venetian Gothic style, low and squat to cope with the poor ground conditions.

[3] However, the Palace is noticeably built in two phases, believed to be because of Calendario's execution.

Calendario was one of those found guilty of treason and, with the leader of the conspiracy Bertuccio Israello, sentenced to be hanged on 16 April 1355.
