Provveditore

The Italian title prov[v]editore (plural provveditori; also known in Greek: προνοητής, προβλεπτής; Serbo-Croatian: providur), "he who sees to things" (overseer) was the style of various (but not all) local district governors in the extensive, mainly maritime empire of the Republic of Venice. Like many political appointments, it was often held by noblemen as a stage in their career, usually for a few years.

Some were Venetian possessions much earlier, but we found no data on the style of their governors; most were lost to the Ottoman Turks, some only later to Bonaparte or to the British
