This paper studies how the plague in 1348 affected the power structure in Venice. Using data from "The Rulers of Venice, 1332-1524" dataset, we conceptualize the Venetian structure of power as a two-mode network where relevant political houses are associated with the offices in which their members were elected. Three results emerge: participation widened while capacity tightened – more houses appear in office-holding even as total offices contract, mainly at the base; the house-office network becomes denser; and re-ranking is selective rather than wholesale – the apex largely persists while some prominent houses lose ground and others move up.
