Abstract
For the Censori sopra le Pompe, the magistrates in charge of upholding the sumptuary laws of the City of Padova in the Republic of Venice, 16 April 1564 was a busy day. Two of the Censori stood at San Lorenzo Bridge, just behind the University and not far from the Palazzo della Ragione, the main civic building in Padova, while a third magistrate escorted the Podestà, the city’s chief of justice.
