Overall: Interesting article! Nit-picks: I'd add the year to the hook to give bit of context; since Favaro cites his sources for the hook fact, I'd be inclined to add those as citations; presumably "Parolin period" not "Parotin period"? Oh, and were the Cinque Savi really a part of the government of the Republic, or of the city administration (I know I don't know)? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:59, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. "Parolin", yes, oops! See here re the Cinque Savi - pretty clear they cover the whole republic, & of course Nove isn't actually in the city. I think one of the characteristics of the R of V was that, given their history, there was barely any distinction between "a part of the government of the Republic" and "the city administration". Date added to hook - same source. I'll deal with the rest later; too sunny just now! Johnbod (talk) 14:14, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
A fact from Le Nove porcelain appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 14 July 2019 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the samples of Le Nove porcelain(example pictured), sent to the Venetian government in 1762 to support a licence application, may actually have been made by another factory?
