Nicolò Donà
Nicolò Donà (born January 28, 1539 in Venice ; † May 9, 1618 there ) was the 93rd Doge of Venice .
Donà was the younger of two sons of Giovanni Donà and Elisabetta Morosini. He was the second of three Doges in 1618. Donà was a candidate for embarrassment because it was not possible to agree on Giambattista Nani , who was the most suitable candidate, but who was suspected of secret sympathy for the Protestants . Donà was, among other things, governor in Udine , Capitano in Vicenza , Podestà in Koper and was elected Doge at the age of 79 on April 4, 1618 after 35 ballots. He died 34 days after his election.
His grave in the church of Santa Chiara on the island of Murano was destroyed during the French occupation of Venice.
