Does anyone know when Francesco Venier was born? It appears he was Doge of Venice from 1554 to 1556. Any other genealogical details very much appreciated.

Venier family of Venice [Re: Doge of Venice]

Capellari quoted many authors whom had made the Venier family descend
from the gens Aurelia of Rome, gens of Roman emperors Valeriano and
Gallieno.
Leaving these legends behind, it's well stated that the Venieri were
in Venice since the early days of the Republic, with houses and
churches. They were lords of Cerigo and Paros, islands of the
Arcipelago, and of Zemonico, a castle in Dalmatia, and of the castle
of Sanguinetto in the Veronese.
Members of this family were famous priests and bishops, three dogi, 18
procuratori di S. Marco, and a great number of capitani generali
(admirals) and famous men of letters or magistrates.
The first Venier doge was Antonio, elected in 1382, most admired for
his exemplar justice. He had an only son, named Luigi, who was the
lover of a gentlewoman, wife of the patrician Giovanni Dalle Boccole.
Discovered, Luigi Venier was condemned to two months in prison and a
fine of 100 ducati.
The doge, his father, confirmed the sentence and, even when Luigi
became ill, he did nothing to liberate his son, who dide in prison.
Sebastiano Venier, doge of Venice in 1577, had been in 1571 a
condottiero of the Christian fleet against the Turks in the famous
battle of Curzolari. In that glorious journey, Sebastiano was
seriously injured, in company of his nephew Lorenzo. Later he was made
generalissimo di mare, and he defeated the Spanish navy commanded by
the duke of Ossuna, viceroy of Naples, which was trying to help the
Austrians in the Adriatic. For his bravery, his nephew Lorenzo, on the
30 May 1618, was elected procuratore di S. Marco.
Among the poets members of the family, of which only in the 16th
century we may count five: brothers Lorenzo and Domenico, Luigi,
Maffio (archbishop of Corfù, son of Lorenzo), and Marco (one of the
friends of Veronica Franco).
The main palace of the Venier, with an adjacent fabbrica, was in Santa
Maria Formosa.
Francesco Venier (doge 1553-56) was painted by Tiziano. This portrait
is now in Madrid at Fundación Thyssen-Bornemisza.
Sebastiano Venier (commander in Lepanto in 1571 and doge 1577-78) was
the character of an statute, made by Antonio dal Zotto, in 1907, which
can be seen today at the church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Venice.
Does anyone know when Francesco Venier was born? It appears he was Doge of Venice from 1554 to 1556. Any other genealogical details very much appreciated.

Hi Leo,
This is all I could find on the internet. He is only mentioned briefly in my
Italian books/
Francesco Venier - 80th Doge of Venice
Italian: from the personal name Venerio (from Latin Venerius), which became
popular, especially in Venice, as a result of the cult of San Venerio. The
surname is also found in Greece, mainly in the form Venieris and the patronymic
derivatives Venierakis and Venieratos.

Re: Doge of Venice
Allegedly, he was the 81st Doge of Venice, although I can only find 79
others before him. Died late 1556.
