Domenico Malipiero
Domenico Malipiero (1428–1515) was a naval captain from a patrician Venetian family who passed his youth in maritime commerce on his family's behalf and became a Venetian senator in 1465. He held a command in the War of Ferrara (1482–1484), fought to relieve the siege of Pisa and was eventually made Admiral of the Fleet. Before that, at the capture of Gallipoli from the Ottoman Turks, the captain-general was shot down on his poop deck as the battle was about to commence; Malipiero modestly and matter-of-factly recounts that he spread a sheet over the captain's body and put it about that the captain was merely severely wounded. In semi-retirement from his maritime career he served as the Venetian governor of Rovigo (1494), Rimini (1505), Napoli di Romania (1510) and of Treviso in the year of his death. He kept a chronicle in the Venetian language of the history of Venice which runs from 1457 to 1500, and offers details of the Venetian wars with the Sultan. Malipiero's ''Annali' ...

16th-century Venetian Writers
The 16th century begins with the Julian year 1501 ( MDI) and ends with either the Julian or the Gregorian year 1600 ( MDC) (depending on the reckoning used; the Gregorian calendar introduced a lapse of 10 days in October 1582). The 16th century is regarded by historians as the century which saw the rise of Western civilization and the Islamic gunpowder empires. The Renaissance in Italy and Europe saw the emergence of important artists, authors and scientists, and led to the foundation of important subjects which include accounting and political science. Copernicus proposed the heliocentric universe, which was met with strong resistance, and Tycho Brahe refuted the theory of celestial spheres through observational measurement of the 1572 appearance of a Milky Way supernova. These events directly challenged the long-held notion of an immutable universe supported by Ptolemy and Aristotle, and led to major revolutions in astronomy and science.
