Biography

The mandate of the doge Cattaneo Della Volta, the eighty-sixth in biennial succession and the one hundred and thirty-first in republican history, was characterized by the ordinary administration of the state. Among its most important measures was the authorization granted to the community of Nervi for the construction of the new marina. After the dogate ended on September 5, 1693, he left the biennial residence of Doge's Palace for his palace in the historic center of Genoa. In 1713 he retired to private life and died on December 24, 1721, in Genoa.[1][2]
