Vincenzo Durazzo (Genoa, 1635 – Genoa, 29 February 1724) was the 140thDoge of theRepublic of Genoa and king ofCorsica.
With a very large majority of the votes, the Grand Council elected Vincenzo Durazzo as the new Doge of the Republic on 14 September 1709, the ninety-fifth in biennial succession and the one hundred and forty-fourth in republican history. On 23 November, the solemn coronation took place in theCathedral of San Lorenzo in the presence of the bishop of theDiocese of Aleria Monsignor Raffaele Raggi who from 1705 had assumed the role after the death of the doge's brother, Monsignor Mario Emmanuele Durazzo. As doge he was also invested with the related biennial office of king of Corsica. After the end of his dogate, Durazzo continued to serve the Genoese state as dean of Maritime affairs. Elected from among the perpetual procurators, he died in Genoa on 29 February 1724 where he was buried inside thechurch of Nostra Signora della Consolazione.[1]
