Pietro Grimani (October 5, 1677 in Venice – March 7, 1752 in Venice) was a Venetian statesman and aristocrat [1] who served as the 115th Doge of Venice from June 30, 1741, until his death. Grimani was born a member of the Grimani family. He was a cultured and learned man, who wrote poetry and counted among his acquaintances Isaac Newton, whom he had met while serving as a diplomat in England. He was succeeded as Doge by Francesco Loredan. Pietro Grimani was the castellanus of coron and modon.[2] The Venitian senate gave regions like Monemvasia to Grimani but Grimani family was not able to gain full control.[3]
