Giovanni di Murta (died 6 January 1350) was the second Doge of Genoa following the resignation of Simone Boccanegra, on 25 December 1345.[1] His dogate was dominated by his attempts to break the circle of political violence which had crippled the city over the past century and to reassert Genoese dominion over the Mediterranean colonies.
