" This practice came to an end in 1423, after the election of Francesco Foscari, who was presented with the unconditional words " Your doge ".

He then asked Francesco Maria Piave ( with whom he had already created Ernani, I due Foscari, Macbeth, Il Corsaro and Stiffelio ) to examine the play Kean by Alexandre Dumas, père, but he felt he needed a more energetic subject to work on.

Only in 1424, did Doge Francesco Foscari decide to extend the rebuilding works to the wing overlooking the Piazzetta, serving as law-courts, and with a ground floor arcade on the outside, open first floor loggias running along the façade, and the internal courtyard side of the wing, completed with the construction of the Porta della Carta ( 1442 ).

In the space above the cornice, there is a sculptural portrait of the Doge Francesco Foscari kneeling before the St. Mark's Lion.

* The Scrutinio Room is in the wing built between the 1520s and 1540s during the dogate of Francesco Foscari ( 1423 – 57 ), facing the Piazzeta.

* The State Censors were set up in 1517 by Marco Giovanni di Giovanni, a cousin of Doge Andrea Gritti ( 1523 – 1538 ) and nephew of the great Francesco Foscari.
