Biography

[edit]

On February 7, 1736 he was elected the new Doge of the Republic, the one hundred and eighth with a two year mandate and the one hundred and fifty-third in republican history. As doge he was also invested with the related biennial office of King of Corsica. His Dogate was inevitably dominated by the Corsican Crisis. His two-year mandate ended, on February 7, 1738, after which he assumed the position of deputy of the Tax office of the Republic of Genoa.

Nicolò Cattaneo Della Volta died in Genoa on 5 July 1751.[1][2]
