Biography
Lomellini ascended to dogal power on February 4, 1777, the one hundred and thirty in biennial succession and the one hundred and seventy-fifth in republican history. For the coronation ceremony at the Genoa Cathedral, the Genoese senate ordered a new purple and a new royal cloak for the wear of the previous clothing and greeted the election of the new doge with fifty-one cannon shots instead of the thirty thunder routines. During his dogate the ruinous fire of the Ducal palace occurred on the morning of November 3, 1777, followed by a prompt reconstruction and embellishment of the Palace. The following year the construction of the so-called "New Road" was decided. The two-year term ended on February 4, 1779. Giuseppe Lomellini died in Genoa in 1803.[1]
