Biography

The strong skills of Lomellini led him to the appointment on 4 January 1533, the third in biennial succession and the forty-eighth in republican history. It was during his dogate that he still received, with great solemnity, Charles V in a meeting in Rivarolo with the entire Senate. In his two-year dogale, he re-established commercial relations with the Kingdom of France. When his mandate ended, on January 4, 1535, he received his last assignment as ambassador and speaker of the Republic for the meeting in 1537 with Pope Paul III at Savona.[2]

Lomellini was married twice, his first wife was Caterina di Carlotto Lomellini, while in second marriage he married Luisina di Lodisio Doria, he had numerous children, including Gioffredo, Oberto and Battista.[2]
