Alvise Giovanni Mocenigo IV

Alvise Giovanni Mocenigo (1701-1778), was doge of Venice from 1763 until his death. He restricted the privileges of the clergy, and in consequence came into bitter conflict with Pope Clement XIII. In trying to spur on the economy, he made important commercial agreements with Tripoli, Tunisia, Morocco, Russia, and with America. He died on December 31, 1778.
