Last updated

Arsenio Duodo was a member of the Venetian patrician Duodo family.

Arsenio Duodo married Francesca Gabriel, daughter of Giovanni Gabriel in 1415. He was Patron for the Convoy of Alexandria in 1412 [1]

and again in 1419. The value of the cargo of the three ships of the latter convoy was 80,000 ducats. [2] Duodo was patron of the Convoy of Flanders in 1422, and the Convoy of Aigues Mortes in 1423. In 1431, he was Sopracomito (commander of a galley) in the Venetian navy. [3] In 1434, his daughter Cenone (Nona) Duodo married Giosafat Barbaro. [4] [5] In July 1436, Arsenio Duodo was elected Consul to Tana. [6] The captains of the trade galleys initially refused to continue past Constantinople, though they eventually did reach Tana. [7] Initially, Consul Duodo had to stay in Constantinople at his own expense and was not reimbursed by the Senate until two years later. [8] In 1438, the Great Horde under Küchük Muhammad advanced on Tana. [9] Consul Duodo sent his son-in-law Giosafat Barbaro as an emissary to the Tatars to persuade them not to attack Tana. [10] [11]

In 1440, Duodo was Captain of the Convoy of Aigues Mortes. [12] In 1442, he was Podestà of Capodistria. Pirates supported by Alfonso of Aragon became a problem in the Black Sea, and in 1444 Arsenio Duodo was sent with five ships to hunt them. [13] In 1446, he became Rector of Feltre. [14]

In 1448, Duodo was nominated by his son-in-law, Giosafat Barbaro, for the office of Bailo of Constantinople. [15] In 1460, Arsenio Duodo was one of the Councilors of Doge Pasquale Malipiero. He was one of the electors of Doge Cristoforo Moro in 1462. [3]
