Marino Grimani (doge)

Marino Grimani (1 July 1532 in Venice – 25 December 1605 in Venice) was the 89th Doge of Venice, reigning from 26 April 1595 until his death. Grimani's reign as doge was principally remembered for two reasons:

  1. the splendid celebrations for the coronation of his wife, Morosina Morosini; and
  2. the beginning of the quarrel with the papacy that resulted in Pope Paul V placing the Republic of Venice under papal interdict in the reign of Grimani's successor, Leonardo Donato (1606–1607).
