Pietro Durazzo (Genoa, 8 August 1560 - Genoa, 18 December 1631) was the 93rd Doge of the Republic of Genoa.
Son of the former doge Giacomo Grimaldi Durazzo and Maria Maggiolo, he was born in Genoa in a period around 1560. Also thanks to the "hard" authoritarian and management policy started in Genoa and in the territories subject to it, in the Dogates of the beginning of the century by its predecessors, especially in the power struggles between rival families, the two-year period of the doge Pietro Durazzo is attested in the annals as overall quiet and of normal administration. Even in the international scenario, the political and economic relations of the Republic of Genoa with the great Italian and European powers, despite the increase in events and riots that would have led to the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War, could be defined stable and unchanged. Having a huge popular and noble support, the doge Durazzo was able to concentrate fully on the great urban works started a few years earlier. After his term of office on doge on May 2, 1621, Pietro Durazzo was appointed perpetual procurator and continued to exercise an administration service for the Genoese state and financial for the Bank of Saint George. For health reasons he had to leave the post of protector of the Holy Office in 1631, an illness that led to his death on December 18 of the same year. [1]
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.
A doge was an elected lord and Chief of State in several Italian city-states, notably Venice and Genoa, during the medieval and renaissance periods. Such states are referred to as "crowned republics".
Domenico Selvo was the 31st Doge of Venice, serving from 1071 to 1084. During his reign as Doge, his domestic policies, the alliances that he forged, and the battles that the Venetian military won and lost laid the foundations for much of the subsequent foreign and domestic policy of the Republic of Venice. He avoided confrontations with the Byzantine Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Roman Catholic Church at a time in European history when conflict threatened to upset the balance of power. At the same time, he forged new agreements with the major nations that would set up a long period of prosperity for the Republic of Venice. Through his military alliance with the Byzantine Empire, Emperor Alexios I Komnenos awarded Venice economic favors with the declaration of a golden bull that would allow for the development of the republic's international trade over the next few centuries.
