Abstract

Venice Republic fall changed basilica's functions from doge's chapel to city cathedral. So many changes became necessary notably in presbytery. Austrian and French domination brought a severe economical crisis in the city with loss of maintenance and restorations. Only after 1849 a restorations campaign began with errors and international polemics that were important for the rise of a modern and scientific methodology and practice.
