Finally, it is very absurd to think of companies of other presbyters in churches that Paul planted, but presbyteries of such presbyters as are now distinguished from bishops, which is the grant of our adversaries.

One of Faliero's party was Calendario, an architect, employed on the part of the Doges' Palace in which we are now standing. He was hanged or strangled between the two red columns in the upper arches of the Piazzetta façade. Of Obelerio little good is known. He married a foreigner whom some believe to have been an illegitimate daughter of Charlemagne, and her influence was bad.
The lesser conspirators, all men of the humbler sort Calendario, the architect, who was then at work upon the palace, a number of seamen, and other little-known persons were hanged; not like the greater criminals, beheaded between the columns, but strung up a horrible fringe along the side of the palazzo. The fate of Falieri himself is too generally known to demand description.

Through Andrea Pisano the style of Niccola was extended to Venice. There is reason to believe that he instructed Filippo Calendario, to whom we should ascribe the sculptured corners of the Ducal Palace.
