He began his career during the Morea War , becoming in 1690 the captain of Galeas . In 1693 he was in the retinue of Francesco Morozini of Athens , accompanied the great admiral in his last campaign. At the final stage of the war, in 1696-1700 he was engaged in the organization and supply of the naval forces of the republic. At the end of the war, he was appointed conductor and captain to Corfu (1701-1703), where he was engaged in the construction of fortifications and maintaining the combat readiness of the fleet. When Venice declared armed neutrality during the War of the Spanish Succession , Emo was appointed extraordinary captain of the lagoon, in case of repulsion of possible aggression.
In 1705-1708 he was the General Provider of Morea , where he tried to restore order in management, to fight corruption and violence against the local population. He proposed to carry out economic reforms that would improve the situation of local residents, and, consequently, strengthen Venetian domination. The inertia of the Venetian administrative system, in addition to being overwhelmed by corruption, did not allow the implementation of the proposed measures. As a monument to unfulfilled hopes, there remained an instruction addressed to the successor, Antonio Loredan, as well as a detailed report submitted by the Venetian Senoria on January 9, 1709.
in 1710-1713 he was an extraordinary conductor of the Terra Farm . His task was to prevent the possible penetration into the republic of the units of imperial troops operating in the Mantua region, as well as quarantine measures against outbreaks of contagious diseases that accompany the war.
At the end of the war for the Spanish inheritance in 1714 he was sent by the provisional general to Dalmatia and Albania. He remained in this position until 1717, and, having very insignificant forces, he managed to be marked by notable successes in the war against the Turks . Upon returning to the metropolis, he held various posts, and in 1729 he was appointed bylo (ambassador) to Constantinople . From October 1, 1735 to September 30, 1736 he was a member of the Council of Ten and a state inquisitor , in 1738-1740 - captain of Padua .
On November 18, 1741, despite his advanced age and attempts to abandon this post, he was appointed general director of the Terraferma, in connection with the outbreak of the war for the Austrian inheritance . From his residence in Verona, he made frequent inspection trips with Field Marshal Schulenburg, a longtime comrade in the Turkish War.
December 10, 1744 - December 9, 1746 held his last position - the Conductor of the Arsenal .
