After 1485 he moved to Venice, his stay in Venice also enabled Valla to intensify his scientific and philological relations with the most prominent intellectuals in European society and to have fruitful social relations with powerful Venetians, such as the Loredans and the Mocenigos, he remained in Venice until his death)
