The Patriarchal Legacy

aqu_patriarchal_legacy

For centuries, the patriarchs of Aquileia administered a territory that stretched from the Adriatic coast to the Alpine passes, managing ecclesiastical law, civil disputes, and diplomatic relations with secular powers simultaneously, an administrative experience that accumulated in our institutions long after the patriarchate's temporal power was absorbed by Venice. We draw on this heritage to rationalize and improve our own machinery of government, applying the procedural knowledge of an institution that once governed a far larger and more complex territory to the more manageable scale of our current state. This Patriarchal Legacy of administrative sophistication makes our cabinet more effective and our legislation more coherent, giving us a strength in government that belies the modest size of our domain.
