Giovanni I di Murta, second doge of the Republic of Genoa
Giovanni di Murta (Murta, date unknown – Genoa, 6 January 1350) was elected the second doge of the Republic of Genoa after the resignation of Simone Boccanegra, on 25 December 1345. 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 the Genoese domination over the Mediterranean colonies.
