Quirini is described as the only Venetian Dogaressa of any significance of the 17th century since Morosina Morosini-Grimani. Her consort was said to be known in history mostly through her. Although the Grand Council had, in 1645, abolished the elaborate ceremony for installing a new dogaressa, because of its large expense to the state and to the Doge, Valiero convinced the Council to grant an exception.
She also had the traditional Solemn Entry 4 March 1694.
She was the last dogaressa to be crowned. Elisabetta used her right as dogaressa to receive foreign dignitaries and accept gifts from them: both this right, as well as the right for a dogaressa to wear a crown, was forbidden after the reign of her spouse in 1700.
