Biography

His Dogate was remembered by historians as "rigorous" for the economy of the Genoese state. As doge he had to face again the problem of Corsica which returned under the unique power of the Republic, no longer therefore of the Bank of Saint George, as well as other "mainland" towns and cities.[1]

In the two years that led the government of Genoa, he promoted a real policy of saving public finances and, more importantly for the doge himself, to cancel or almost cancel the Genoese insolvency, both of the state and its citizens, against creditors. After his mandate ended in January 1563 he was appointed perpetual procurator. He died in Genoa in 1566.[1]
