Ambrogio Di Negro (Genoa, 1519 - Genoa, August 1601) was the 75th Doge of the Republic of Genoa.
According to the writings of the historians of the time, Ambrogio Di Negro's dogato was not easy for the continuous noble struggles, made of crime, and internal political problems, so much so that several times the Genoese government was called to revise and reform criminal justice; maneuvers that then, in fact, were minimally implemented or with not really significant results. In various memoirs, Ambrogio Di Negro's personality is described as "haughty and superb", a change of character perhaps explainable in the difficult events of his two-year term. After the end of his mandate as Doge, he preferred to retire from Genoese political life. Di Negro died in Genoa in August 1601. [1] [2]
The Doge of Genoa 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. In actuality, the Republic was an oligarchy ruled by a small group of merchant families, from whom the doges were selected.
The Republic of Genoa was an independent state and maritime republic from the 11th century to 1797 in Liguria on the northwestern Italian coast, incorporating Corsica from 1347 to 1768, and numerous other territories throughout the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.

Giovanni Carlo Doria (1576–1625) was a Genoese art collector and mecenas. A son of Agostino Doria, doge of Genoa in 1601-1603, he was a prominent member of one of the richest and most influential families of the Republic of Genoa; his brother Giovanni Stefano Doria (1578-1641) became the 101st doge of Genoa (1633-1635) and was considered the richest man in Italy in his day. Giovanni Carlo was married to Veronica Spinola, daughter of Ambrogio Spinola. He was given the Order of Santiago by Philip III of Spain.
Villa Di Negro Rosazza "dello Scoglietto" or "lo Scoglietto" is a villa located in the quarter of San Teodoro in Genoa, Northwestern Italy. It was built in 1565 for the Doge Ambrogio Di Negro o for his son Orazio, in a coastal area that used to be outside of the city walls. The villa passed to the Durazzo family, who commissioned a renovation in the neoclassical style at the end of the 18th century. In the 19th century, the construction of the railway Turin-Genoa led to the destruction of the garden at the sea side, while the hill side remained largely untouched. The villa and the park are now owned by the Municipality of Genoa and destined to public use. The villa is located near the Dinegro station of the Metro of Genoa.
