Venetian grosso The Venetian grosso (plural Grossi) is a silver coin first introduced in Venice in 1193 under doge Enrico Dandolo. It originally weighed 2.18 grams, was composed of 98.5% pure silver, and was valued at 26 dinarii. Its name is from the same root as "groschen" and the English groat, all deriving ultimately from the "denaro grosso" ("large penny").
Antoine de Paule Fra' Antoine de Paule (c. 1551 – 1636) was elected as the 56th Grand Master of the Order of Malta on 10 March 1623 and he died in Malta on 9 June 1636. He died 85 years old after a long illness. His epitaph notes him as a leader who both was loved and loved his subjects. It is said that he made more resources available to the Order, and in that way strengthened it. He also made an effort out of fortifying the ramparts that the Order had set up for defense. However, he was not without his enemies; some of which presented a memorial to the pope Urban VIII describing de Paule as "a man of loose life and conversation", "guilty of simony", and as having "bought his dignity with money". Antoine de Paule sent a delegate to the Vatican, who dealt with these scrupulous rumors.
