History
He began the Venetian policy of expansion on the mainland after 932. Pietro Candiano II began a bitter economic blockading war against Istria early in his rule. He burnt Venice's neighbor and potential rival, Comacchio, to the ground following a trifling diplomatic incident. His son, Pietro III Candiano, would become doge in 942.
