Giovanni Pesaro
Giovanni Pesaro (Venice, September 1, 1589 – Venice, September 30, 1659) was the 103rd Doge of Venice, reigning from his election on April 8, 1658 until his death.〔(Inquisitori e mistici nel seicento italiano:l'eresia di Santa Pelagia )〕 The Cretan War (1645–1669) was ongoing for the entirety of his brief reign.
==Background, 1589–1658==
Giovanni Pesaro was the son of Elena Soranzo and Vettor Pesaro, a rich man. He rose to prominence quickly, being repeatedly elected as ''consigliere'' to the Doge, as a member of the Senate of Venice, and then serving as the Republic of Venice's Ambassador to the Vatican, prior to serving as Procurator of San Marco.
In spite of all of these honours, his reputation was far from spotless. In 1642, he abandoned the garrison of Pontelagoscuro (a ''frazione'' of Ferrara), which he was commanding, in the face of the enemy. In the years following this incident, he was implicated of embezzlement and abuse of office. As rector, he appropriated land owned by a citizen for himself. Following the death of his wife Lucia Barbarigo, Pesaro married his housekeeper, a low born woman whose brother was a criminal banished from the republic.
In spite of these disabilities, Pesaro managed to work his way into the mainstream of Venetian politics. With the war against the Ottoman Empire at a low point, and many Venetian nobles considering giving up Crete, Pesaro gave an impassioned speech in the ''Maggior Consiglio'' (Grand Council) in favour of continuing the war, in the course of which he pledged 6000 ducats of his own money. This action inspired the other nobles to continue the war. His militant attitude won him great favour, and, following the death of Doge Bertuccio Valiero on March 29, 1658, Pesaro was the consensus candidate for new Doge.
