Biography

Born in Genoa around 1495, exponent of the Genoese noble family of the Vivaldi, he held various positions for the Genoese State among which procurator of the Republic, member of the college of Governors, mayor of the village of Sestri Levante and supreme syndicator.[1]

He was elected doge on January 4, 1559: the sixteenth in biennial succession and the sixty-first in republican history. In his mandate he worked to take measures for public order, he graced some French prisoners detained in the port of Castiglione della Pescaia. and also the Republic of Genoa, under his dogate, rejoiced at the peace reached between Spain by Philip II and the France of Henry II, that, indirectly, also brought benefits to the Genoese state.[1]

When the doge's mandate ended on January 4, 1561, Girolamo Vivaldi preferred not to participate in public life any longer due to obvious health problems. He died in Genoa in 1577 and was buried inside the sanctuary of the Madonna del Monte.[1]

gollark: Er, yes.
gollark: If you want callback-driven, then I would do something like this:```lua-- table of event listeners for each programlocal listeners = {}-- make this available to each programlocal function addEventListener(event, handler) listeners[event] = handlerend-- run this when the close button is calledlocal function thingy() if listeners.close then listeners.close() actuallyCloseProgram() else actuallyCloseProgram() endend```
gollark: Ah yes, that may be a problem.
gollark: What?
gollark: Alternatively you can just... queue a `close` event for them, or something.
