Biography
He was born into a patrician family. For 25 years (1643–1668), Nani was ambassador of the Republic of Venice in France, and also performed several diplomatic missions in Germany. He later became the procurator of St. Mark's Cathedral . In his free time he wrote the history of the Republic of Venice, “Historia della Republica Veneta (dal 1613 al 1671)”, which was translated into French by François Tallalle (1679) and Masclari (1702) and continued by Michele Foscarini and Pierre Garzpni.
Nani wrote of a Spanish conspiracy against the Venetian Republic, initiated by the Marquis de Bedmar [3] . The story was used by Cesar Vichard de Saint-Real in his work “Conjuration des Espagnols contre la République de Venise en l'année M. DC. XVIII ”, and in 1682 by Thomas Otway in the play“ Venice Preserv'd, or A Plot Discover'd ”. Leopold von Ranke published his view of conspiracy theory in Über die Verschwörung gegen Venedig, im Jahre 1618 (1831) [4] .
