Savi di Terraferma
The  or  () was a board of five senior magistrates of the Republic of Venice, initially charged with the defence of the Republic's possessions in the Italian mainland (). Gradually they assumed specific roles pertaining to the supervision of public finances (the ), the military administration (the  and ), state ceremonies (the ), and urgent  matters (the ).

Establishment
The  were established , as part of the Republic's expansion into the Veneto and Lombardy, and its military confrontation with the Duchy of Milan over hegemony in northern Italy. They were probably the direct descendants of the extraordinary  that were elected in 1412 for the pursuit of the war. In 1432, the  became  members of the Venetian Senate.

Composition
They were five in number, and sat on the Full College  (), the Republic's effective cabinet. As with other higher magistracies of Venice, restrictions were placed on the eligibility to the office: the members were elected from the Venetian Senate, served a term of six months, and could not be re-elected to the same office for three months thereafter. To ensure continuity, the appointments to the office of  were staggered: three took office on 1 October, two on 1 January, three on 1 April, and two on 1 July.

Roles
Like all , the office did not carry a salary, but could be held in tandem with other public offices. The roles of each of the  were eventually regularized:
 the  was analogous to a Minister for War. The post existed since at least 1519, and initially tasked with the payment of military salaries, but by the mid-17th century its powers had been extended to encompass all areas of military administration, apart from the supervision of the militias and those matters under the purview of  military committees staffed by patricians holding military commands, to which he acted in an advisory capacity.
 the  was analogous to a Finance Minister. The post existed as early as 1473, but appears to have lapsed and not revived until 1526, and abolished again in 1539–1543. The  supervised the fiscal officials known as  and was responsible for public finances, including tax collection. His tenure lasted for a year (after 1543 limited to six months), but all affairs begun under his tenure remained under his purview until completed, even after leaving office.
 the  was responsible for the supervision of the militias (). Unlike the previous two posts, there was no election specifically on this position, which was given to the one of the three remaining  with the highest number of votes.
 the  was responsible for public ceremonies.
 the  was responsible for any other matter voted as urgent ().
