Paolo Renier

Paolo Renier (21 November 1710 – 13 February 1789) was a Venetian statesman, the 119th Doge of Venice, and penultimate, from 1779 until his death. He was a noted orator, and served as ambassador to the Ottoman Empire and to Austria. His election as Doge was unpopular, and he was the subject of numerous menacing letters at the time. Renier was succeeded as Doge by Ludovico Manin, who would be the last Doge of Venice. He married Giustina Donà (d. 1751) in 1733, and Margherita Delmaz (d. 1817) in 1751. Through his brother, Daniele, he is the great-granduncle of Michelangelo Celesia.
