Summary/Abstract: The 126 dispatches sent from Zara to Venice by Alvise Foscari, general Superintendent in Dalmatia and Albania, during his mandate(1777-1780) do not contain, at a time of apparent calm in the Adriatic and the Balkans, references to events of “great politics”. However, they represented wealth of information particularly illuminating because they are coming from a Venetian nobleman in charge of the government of his overseas subjects, on the relationship between the Capital and the Provinces of the Dominio da Mar and the state of health of the Republic in the last twenty years of his glorious existence.
