Doge Of Genoa
The Doge of Genoa ( lij, Dûxe, ; la, Januensium dux et populi defensor, "Commander of the Genoese and Defender of the People") was the ruler of the Republic of Genoa, a city-state and soon afterwards a maritime republic, from 1339 until the state's extinction in 1797. Originally elected for life, after 1528 the Doges were elected for terms of two years. The Republic (or Dogate) was ruled by a small group of merchant families, from whom the doges were selected. History The first Doge of Genoa, Simone Boccanegra ( Ligurian: ''Scimón Boccanéigra''), whose name is kept alive by Verdi's opera, was appointed by public acclaim in 1339. Initially the Doge of Genoa was elected without restriction and by popular suffrage, holding office for life in the so-called "perpetual dogate"; but after the reform effected by Andrea Doria in 1528 the term of his office was reduced to two years. At the same time plebeians were declared ineligible, and the appointment of the doge was entruste ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lorenzo Sauli
Lorenzo Sauli (1535 in Genoa – 1601 in Genoa) was the 82nd Doge of the Republic of Genoa. During his dogate Sauli had to face firsthand the issue related to the Marquisate of Finale, a small western Ligurian state linked to the Del Carretto family, and always in the expansionist aims of Genoa for its strategic and economic importance. The dogate ceased on 21 February 1601. Lorenzo Sauli died assassinated in the same year by Genesio Gropallo, son of a wool weaver, who under the dogate of Agostino Doria was beheaded together with his cousin Gio Girolamo Rosso considered his accomplice.

Pietro De Franchi Sacco
Pietro De Franchi Sacco (Genoa, 1545 - Genoa, April 5, 1611) was the 84th Doge of the Republic of Genoa. Biography The name of Pietro De Franchi Sacco was chosen on 26 February 1603 for the leadership of the Republic, the thirty-ninth in two-year succession and the eighty-fourth in republican history. His Dogate was evaluated by the Genoese chronicles as quiet and "normal administration". However, there were significant episodes such as a sudden night terrestrial attack by some soldiers of the Duchy of Savoy, which was promptly repressed by Genoese troops or the sending of four galleys, in 1604, to the rescue of Onorato Grimaldi in Monaco to defend an offensive launched by Carlo Emanuele I of Savoy; therefore, there were inevitably open conflicts between the Genoese republic and the Duchy of Savoy. In this two-year period the Genoese capital saw the birth of numerous public works: a new tower at the dock, the construction of a hospice for Corsican soldiers, the renovation in 1 ...

Republic Of Genoa
The Republic of Genoa ( lij, Repúbrica de Zêna ; it, Repubblica di Genova; la, Res Publica Ianuensis) was a medieval and early modern maritime republic from the 11th century to 1797 in Liguria on the northwestern Italian coast. During the Late Middle Ages, it was a major commercial power in both the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. Between the 16th and 17th centuries it was one of the major financial centers in Europe. Throughout its history, the Genoese Republic established numerous colonies throughout the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, including Corsica from 1347 to 1768, Monaco, Southern Crimea from 1266 to 1475 and the islands of Lesbos and Chios from the 14th century to 1462 and 1566 respectively. With the arrival of the early modern period, the Republic had lost many of its colonies, and had to shift its interests and focus on banking. This decision would prove successful for Genoa, which remained as one of the hubs of capitalism, with highly developed banks ...

Doria (family)
The House of Doria ( lij, Döia ) originally ''de Auria'' (from ''de filiis Auriae''), meaning "the sons of Auria", and then ''de Oria'' or ''d'Oria'', is an old and extremely wealthy Genoese family who played a major role in the history of the Republic of Genoa and in Italy, from the 12th century to the 16th century. Numerous members of the dynasty ruled the republic first as Capitano del popolo and later as Doge. Origins According to legend, a noble Genoese lady named Auria or Oria della Volta fell in love with a noble pilgrim who was going to Jerusalem for the First Crusade; his name was Arduino di Narbonne but their children were named after the mother—''de Oria'', the children of Oria. Arduino was a typical name of the Arduinici family of the Piemonte, some of whose members bore the title of Counts of Auriate; one might then speculate that one of the Arduinici of Auriate gave origin to this family, which suddenly appears in history as a local major power in Liguria in t ...

Lamba Doria
Lamba D'Oria (also spelled Doria) (1245–1323) was an Italian admiral of the Republic of Genoa. The brother of the ''capitano del popolo'' Oberto Doria, he was one of the best Genoese admirals, together with his descendant Andrea Doria. He defeated the Venetians in the battle of Curzola in 1298, where he took prisoner the admiral Andrea Dandolo (who subsequently committed suicide) and, according to a tradition, Marco Polo. Polo, Marco; Latham, Ronald (translator) (1958). ''The Travels of Marco Polo'', p. 16. New York: Penguin Books. . After his triumphal return to Genoa, the commune donated him a palace in the San Matteo Square and other lands at Savona, where today a Palazzo D'Oria Lamba is still existing (such as others in Genoa and Piedmont it, Piemontese , population_note = , population_blank1_title = , population_blank1 = , demographics_type1 = , demographics1_footnotes = , demographics1_title1 = , demographics1_info1 = , demograp ...

Nicolò Doria
Nicolò Doria (Genoa, 1525 – Genoa, 13 October 1592) was the 72nd Doge of the Republic of Genoa. Biography Son of Giacomo Doria and Bettina De Mari, and member of the wealthy Doria family, he was born in Genoa presumably around 1525. On 20 October 1579 he was therefore elected Doge of the Republic, the twenty-seventh position since the biennial reform and the seventy-second in republican history. The new doge Nicolò Doria was therefore called to revive a Genoa, and its republic, devastated by a civil war between the noble factions, but which also had repercussions on the Genoese population and on the international scene. After the end of his Dogate, Doria was then appointed perpetual procurator and representative of the Magistrate of Corsica. He died in Genoa on 13 October 1592.

Giovanni Battista Doria
Giovanni Battista Doria (1470 – 1554) was the 50th Doge of the Republic of Genoa. Biography Son of Agostino Doria and Soprana Grimaldi and a member of the powerful Doria family, he was born in Genoa around 1470. The fate of Giovanni Battista Doria was closely linked to the well-known figure of Admiral Andrea Doria. Shortly after the landing in the port of Genoa of the Andrea Doria fleet with a good number of army on board, Giovanni Battista was sent, together with other citizens, by the governor Teodoro Trivulzio for an exploratory reconnaissance of the admiral's intentions. On that occasion the two Dorias met secretly and it was Andrea himself, perhaps for the surname of the same name or simply for trust and esteem, who explained to Giovanni Battista the real reasons for his landing "in the common struggle for freedom and estrangement of the current domination of Francis I of France. After the various stages of the new and independent Republic, the name of Giovanni Battis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
17th-century Doges Of Genoa
The 17th century lasted from January 1, 1601 ( MDCI), to December 31, 1700 ( MDCC). It falls into the early modern period of Europe and in that continent (whose impact on the world was increasing) was characterized by the Baroque cultural movement, the latter part of the Spanish Golden Age, the Dutch Golden Age, the French ''Grand Siècle'' dominated by Louis XIV, the Scientific Revolution, the world's first public company and megacorporation known as the Dutch East India Company, and according to some historians, the General Crisis. From the mid-17th century, European politics were increasingly dominated by the Kingdom of France of Louis XIV, where royal power was solidified domestically in the civil war of the Fronde. The semi-feudal territorial French nobility was weakened and subjugated to the power of an absolute monarchy through the reinvention of the Palace of Versailles from a hunting lodge to a gilded prison, in which a greatly expanded royal court could be more easil ...
