Gian Giacomo Caroldo

He took care of his sister Maria, widow of a cloth merchant, and in 1515 asked the Senate for support for her children.

[2] In a document he wrote on 15 September 1511, he records how he had been part of diplomatic missions to England, Spain, the Ottoman Empire and various states in Italy.

[1] A report he wrote on this mission, dated 30 September 1503, was included by Marino Sanudo the Younger in his Diarii.

Pietro Bembo credits him with first alerting the Venetian government to the anti-Venetian league when he was ducal secretary in Milan in 1508.

He twice asked to be relieved from his post 1518, but the Council of Ten preferred on both occasions to increase his compensation instead.

For the years down to 1280, Caroldo relies mainly on Andrea Dandolo's Latin Chronica per extensum descripta.
