Brondolo was an ancient settlement in the lagoon, at the estuary of the Adige river. It is now a suburb of Chioggia.
Deusdedit was the fourth doge of Venice, ruling from 742 to 755, but we know little more about him than of the previous doges and the “magistri militum”.
The doges Deusdedit (742-755), Galla (755–756), Domenico Monegario (756–764), Maurizio Galbaio (764–787) and his son Giovanni (787–804), from the “Istoria Veneticorum” by John the Deacon.
Translation of the parts related to Venice of the “De Administrando Imperio” (c.950) by Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus.
