Francesco Morosini (26 February 1619 – 16 January 1694) was the Doge of Venice from 1688 to 1694, at the height of the Great Turkish War. He was one of the many Doges and generals produced by the Venetian noble Morosini family.[1] He is said to have "dressed always in red from top to toe and never went into action without his cat beside him."[2]
