Giovanni di Murta (died 6 January 1350[citation needed]) was elected the second Doge of the Republic of Genoa after the resignation of Simone Boccanegra, on 25 December 1345.[1] His dogate was dominated by his attempts to break the circle of political violence which had crippled the city over the past century and to reassert Genoese dominion over the Mediterranean colonies.
