Paoluccio Anafesto (also Paulucius Anafestus or Paulicio) was the first doge of Venice, nominally from 697 to 717, but the years are uncertain, as is his real identity.
The account of the election of the first three doges of Venice (Pauluccio, Marcello and Orso), from the “Istoria Veneticorum” by John the Deacon.
Where were the doges of Venice buried? A little bit all over, in churches and monasteries in Venice and beyond.
“Doge” from the L’Archivio di Stato di Venezia: indice generale, storico, descrittivo ed analitico (1937) by Andrea da Mosto
