Nicolò Donato

Lived from 1539 CE to 1618 CE

Nicolò Donà or Nicolò Donato was the 93rd Doge of Venice, reigning for little more than a month, from his election on 5 April 1618 until his death. Donato was elected doge on 5 April 1618, probably by paying bribes. He tried to eliminate his reputation for stinginess by throwing the traditional lavish banquet to celebrate his election, but this proved unavailing when his parents turned a number of his relatives away from the feast in order to save money. He died in Venice 35 days after his election, with the Bedmar Conspiracy still raging.
