. It is certain that Bishop Tricidius of Padua took refuge on the island of Malamocco. But when Tricidius returned to Padua there still remained a bishop at Malamocco (Metamaucus), and the Venetian islands remained under his jurisdiction until 775. In that year, with the consent of pope Adrian I and the Patriarch of Grado, that an episcopal see was erected on the island of Olivolo (afterwards called Castello) with jurisdiction over Gemini, Rialto, Luprio and Dorsoduro. The first bishop (nominated by the doge of Venice

), Obelerius, was invested and enthroned by the doge, but ordained by the Patriarch of Grado. The rest of the islands which now form Venice remained under the aforesaid Patriarch. After Obelerius' death, the doge named a certain Cristoforo in 798. Giovanni, Patriarch of Grado, refused to consecrate him on account of his extreme youth. However, Giovanni was assassinated, his successor, after much hesitation, ordained Cristoforo.

Under the fourth bishop, Orso, the relics of the Evangelist St. Mark were transferred from Muslim dominated Alexandria, Egypt and brought to safely to Venice. Two Venetian merchants were said to have wrapped the relics in pork so as to avoid detection by the Muslim customs officials. Meanwhile, Venice (as well as Aquileia and Grado) had had a tradition that St. Mark himself had preached the Gospel in the lagoon area. The possession of the relics of the saint lent greater weight to the tradition and the Venetian state capitalized on it making the symbol of St. Mark, the winged lion, its very own. In fact, the Basilica of St. Mark was until the 19th century, the private chapel of the Doge

. The bishop's cathedral remained St. Peter's in Castello.

As many bodies of saints had already been brought from the East, so, following the conquest of Constantinople, a still greater number now came to Venice. After 1204, the icon of the Madonna called Nicopoeia, which is still in St. Mark's, arrived. In 1225 Marco II Michel finally secured the exemption of the clergy from lay jurisdiction, except in cases involving real property.

. The election of the patriarch belonged to the Senate of Venice, and this practice sometimes led to differences between the republic and the Holy See. In like manner parishioners elected their parish priests, by the right of patronage. Girolamo Quirini, O.P. (1519-54), had many disputes with the clergy, the Government and the Holy See; to avoid these disputes, the Senate decreed that in future only senators should be eligible. Those elected after this were frequently laymen. Giovanni Trevisano, O.S.B. (1560), introduced the Tridentine reforms, founding the seminary, holding synods and collecting the regulations made by his predecessors (Constitutiones et privilegia patriarchatus et cleri Venetiarum). In 1581 the visita Apostolica was sent to Venice; a libellus exhortatorius was published, in which the visita highly praised the clergy of Venice.
St Mark's Basilica
In 1807, by favour of the Napoleonic Viceroy of Italy, the Neapolitan Nicola Gambroni was promoted to the patriarchate and of his own authority transferred the patriarchal seat to the Basilica of St. Mark, uniting the two chapters; he reduced the number of parish churches from seventy to thirty. The work of enlarging the choir of the basilica brought to light the relics of St. Mark (1808). In 1811 Napoleon I intruded into the See of Venice Stefano Bonsignore, Bishop of Faenza, but in 1814 that prelate returned to his own see.
