Marcantonio Giustinian (2 March 1619 – 23 March 1688) was the 107th Doge of Venice, reigning from his election on 26 January 1684 until his death.[1] Giustiniani was the quintessential Doge of the Republic of Venice, taking little interest in affairs of state. He had little role in the conduct of the Morean War (1684-1699), which was raging during his time as Doge, though a number of military victories were secured by provveditore Francesco Morosini, who would later be Giustinian's successor as Doge.
