The
Doge of Venice
(
Doxe de Venexia
[ˈdɔːze de veˈnɛsja]
; Italian:
Doge di Venezia
; all derived from Latin
dūx
, "military leader"), sometimes translated as
Duke
(compare the Italian
Duca
), was the chief magistrate and leader of the Most Serene Republic of Venice for 1,100 years (697–1797). Doges of Venice were elected for life by the city-state's aristocracy. Commonly the man selected as Doge was the shrewdest elder in the city. The
doge
was neither a duke in the modern sense, nor the equivalent of a hereditary duke. The title "doge" was the title of the senior-most elected official of Venice and Genoa; both cities were republics and elected doges. A doge was referred to variously by the titles "My Lord the Doge" (
Monsignor el Doxe
), "Most Serene Prince" (
Serenissimo Principe
), and "His Serenity" (
Sua Serenità
).
