Girolamo Priuli (1486 in Venice – 4 November 1567 in Venice) was a Venetian noble, who served as the eighty-third Doge of Venice, from 1 September 1559 until his sudden death from a stroke in 1567.

History

He was the elder brother of the preceding doge, Lorenzo Priuli. Girolamo's face is familiar from Tintoretto's portrait.

Girolamo was the son of Alvise Peruli and his wife Chiara Lion.

As a man of culture he seemed insignificant in relation to his brother; ineloquent, he was at first scarcely popular but gained respect through the works embellishing the city that he achieved as doge, in a period, above all, of peace for the Repubblica Serenissima.

His early career established him as an able merchant, though not among the most prominent. He served as procuratore di San Marco.

His marriage with Elena Diedo produced a son who was named Antonio Priuli and he became the 94th Doge of Venice reigning from 1618 until his death.

gollark: ```rust if stack.len() < 2 { eprintln!("DOMAIN ERROR"); } else { let a = stack.pop().unwrap(); let b = stack.pop().unwrap();```I think you could abuse option combinators for this instead, though.

gollark: Apart from the `unwrap`s this seems reasonable.

gollark: How rustaceoformic.

gollark: <@356107472269869058> How has your rustaceoformic programming gone?

gollark: Oh, I was worried you were talking about me, but not actually that worried since I checked search and there wasn't anything so it was probably just (in that hypothetical world where you were talking about me) you lying for unknowable purposes.
