Nicolò da Ponte (1578-1585)

On 3 March 1578, Nicolò da Ponte was elected as Doge.
Although he was in his late 80s when elected Doge,
he had a reign that lasted more than seven years.

The Battle of Lepanto was a naval engagement that took place
on 7 October 1571 when a fleet of the Holy League, arranged by
Pope Pius V, decisively defeated the fleet of the Ottoman Empire.

At the end of the battle, the Christians had taken 137 galleys
and galliots, and 12,000 Christian slaves were rescued.
