Girolamo Priuli (1486 inVenice – 4 November 1567 in Venice) was a Venetian noble, who served as the eighty-thirdDoge of Venice, from 1 September 1559 until his sudden death from a stroke in 1567.[1]
He was the elder brother of the precedingdoge,Lorenzo Priuli. Girolamo's face is familiar fromTintoretto's portrait.[2]
Girolamo was the son of Alvise Peruli and his wife Chiara Lion.[3]
As a man of culture he seemed insignificant in relation to his brother; ineloquent, he was at first scarcely popular but gained respect through the works embellishing the city that he achieved as doge, in a period, above all, of peace for theRepubblica Serenissima.[4]

His early career established him as an able merchant, though not among the most prominent. He served asprocuratore di San Marco.[5]
His marriage with Elena Diedo produced a son who was namedAntonio Priuli[dubious –discuss] and he became the 94th Doge of Venice reigning from 1618 until his death.
