Sanudo's Diary
The Diaries of Marin Sanudo, composed between 1496 (when Sanudo was 30) and 1533 (just under three years before his death), represent one of the most comprehensive daily records of events ever compiled by a single individual in early modern Europe. The Diaries have become an essential resource for any serious study of Renaissance Venice. They offer insights into various aspects of Venetian life, from "diplomacy to public spectacles, politics to institutional practices, state councils to public opinion, mainland territories to overseas possessions, law enforcement to warfare, the city's landscape to the lives of its inhabitants, and from religious life to fashion, prices, weather, and entertainment".[2] The strengths of his finest works, especially the Diaries and the De origine, situ et magistratibus urbis Venetae, establish Sanudo as the leading Venetian historian of his generation.

"...the continuity of events and institutions collapses into the quotidian. ...Unreflecting, pedantic, and insatiable, he aimed "to seek out every occurrence, no matter how slight," for he believed that the truth of events could only be grasped through an abundance of facts. 18 He gathered those facts in the chancellery of the Ducal Palace and in the streets of the city, transcribing official legislation and ambassadorial dispatches, reporting popular opinion and Rialto gossip"[1]

Deliverables
Project Timeline & Milestones
2024/10/10
- Conducted background information research and clarified project goals.
- Reviewed related articles, gaining insight into Sanudo's diary.
- Goals:
- Obtain diary text and extract place names.
- Match person names with place names.
- Link named entities to specific diary content.
- Planned integration with the Venice interactive map frontend.
Project Process
We identified three APIs which we could use to locate whether an entity exists in Venice or not. These were: Nominatim (OpenStreetMap), WikiData, and Geonames. We settled on Nominatim as the chief API, since it was the easiest to use and offered the most consistent results. Thus, we created a pipeline to extract place entities from the Sanudo's index and use the Nominatim API to search if the entity exists in Venice, and store the co-ordinates if so.
