Giovanni Battista Lomellini


Giovanni Battista Lomellini was the 108th Doge of the Republic of Genoa and king of Corsica.

Biography

His two-year mandate, considered by historians to be quiet and normal, was marked by his gout, which on various occasions prevented him from presiding over public ceremonies. During this period, the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri took over in Genoa. At the end of his mandate, on 24 July 1648, the commission of the supreme syndicators expressed his favorable vote for the appointment of Giovanni Battista Lomellini as perpetual procurator for the rest of his life. He died in Genoa around 1674.
