Looking forward to this series, especially anything on Sanuto (I just finished reading Venice's Secret Service: Organising Intelligence in the Renaissance by Ioanna Iordanou, which I had mixed feelings about).
Yea, I think this will work as an interesting parallel to Ioanna's book. The life of Sanuto and Dei in particular. Though Ser Cola de Ascoli gives us some pretty great anecdotes as well.
