On February 7, 1736 he was elected the new Doge of the Republic, the one hundred and eighth with a two year mandate and the one hundred and fifty-third in republican history. As doge he was also invested with the related biennial office of King of Corsica. His Dogate was inevitably dominated by the Corsican Crisis. His two-year mandate ended, on February 7, 1738, after which he assumed the position of deputy of the Tax office of the Republic of Genoa.
