Biography

According to historical sources, his two-year mandate was all in all "normal" and peaceful, also in the guise of doge he worked for the strengthening of the defensive positions, especially in the gulf of La Spezia, and in the management of the renewal of the Genoese navy. During the two-year period, however, some contrasts were reported with the Duchy of Savoy for some border possessions, with the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and with the Governor of Milan. After the mandate ended on March 23, 1609, he was still chosen and called to hold some important public positions such as leading the magistrate of the war. Assereto died in Genoa on March 15, 1627.[1] [2]
