About Agostino Pinelli Ardimenti

Lived 1492 – 1566 (aged 73–74). Agostino Pinelli Ardimenti was a politician.

Agostino Pinelli Ardimenti (Genoa, 1492 - Genoa, 1566) was the 59th Doge of the Republic of Genoa.

Biography Agostino Ardimenti was elected to the dogal title on 4 January 1555, the fourteenth in two-year succession and the ninety-ninth in republican history.
