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 a cultured and learned man, who wrote poetry and counted among his acquaintances Isaac Newton, who 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 Grinmani was not able to gain full control.[3]
