Pisani Coat of Arms
This is the full list of all 120 Doges of Venice.

The 114th Doge of the Republic of Venice was one Alvise Pisani who ruled from 1735 until his death in 1741.

Despite the great power given to them, the Venetian Doges were restricted by law to spend the rest of their lives inside the Doge's Palace complex and St Mark's Basilica, occasionally leaving for diplomatic reasons.
