About Pier Francesco Grimaldi
Lived 1715 – 1791 (aged 75). Pier Francesco Grimaldi was a politician.
Pier Francesco Grimaldi (Genoa, 12 August 1715 - Genoa, 4 January 1791) was the 173rd Doge of the Republic of Genoa.
Biography Grimaldi became doge when Ferdinando Spinola renounced his position of doge. The election took place on 26 January 1773. The suppression of the Society of Jesus was imposed during his Dogate, to which the doge and a large part of the Genoese aristocracy were in favor. For this reason Pier Francesco Grimaldi delayed the execution of this order, in agreement with the Jesuit archbishop of Genoa. With pontifical permission he also restricted the right of immunity of churches for outlaws. The dogate ended on 26 January 1775, and Grimaldi continued to work for the Republic. He died in 1791.
