I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.
Palma il Giovane, "Pasquale Cicogna in Dogal Robes Visiting the Church and Hospital of the Crociferi", oil on canvas, 1568–87.
Coat of arms of Pasquale Cicogna
His grave.
Pasquale Cicogna was the Doge of Venice from 1585 to 1595. He supported the claim of Henry of Navarre to the French throne, and convinced Pope Sixtus V to support Henry in exchange for his conversion to Catholicism.
He broke with tradition by scattering silver coins, rather than gold ducats, to the crowd during his coronation procession. These coins were known from then on as cicognini. As his reign of Doge continued his popularity increased because he was very diplomatic and able to tackle major problems with great success.
Arguably, one of his greatest successes was converting the Rialto Bridge, one of Venice's major landmarks and the only bridge over the Grand Canal of Venice, from wood to stone between 1588 and 1591. Although greater names such as Michelangelo had submitted designs, Pasquale chose the more humble architect Antonio da Ponte and his nephew Antonio Contin to design and rebuild the Rialto Bridge. After Pasquale Cicogna died of a fever in 1595 a memorial was inscribed on the bridge to the Doge. His dogaressa was Laura Morozini.[1]
