Giano di Campofregoso
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giano di Campofregoso was the 43rd Doge of Genoa. He ruled as Giano II from 29 June, 1512 to 25 May, 1513, and was the second member of the family called Giano to occupy the office. [1] He was succeeded by his kinsman Ottaviano di Campofregoso.
The Campofregoso were one of the elite, Patrician families of the Genoese Republic, originally from the area of Val Polcevera. The family, also known as Fregoso, were eminent in Genoese politics throughout the 15th century, providing five Dogi to the Republic. [2] The Genoese branch of the family became extinct in 1660. [3]
