When they reached twenty-five all Venetian patricians were required to take up minor magistracies and Correr reluctantly followed suit.

He even declined to serve in the Civic Guard on health grounds during the Fall of the Republic of Venice in 1797 and instead paid a cash fine in monthly installments.

majolica, glassware, books, engravings, gems, enamels, medals, curiosities, weapons, antiquities, bronzes and manuscripts.

He installed his growing collection in his family palazzo in the San Giovanni Decollato district of the Santa Croce sestiere.
