Venice is mostly about Mark, and all saints are carefully kept subservient to him. But this is Paul the Martyr, anyway, who I think is a 4th century Roman martyr, but am not quite sure ... Still an important saint, but not THE saint paul.
On the other hand, the text does say that as Saint Paul (the) predicted glory for Rome, so too does the arrival of Paul the Martyr in Venice predict glory for Venice.

And I shall make MUCH of that statement.
