Biography

During his mandate as Doge, the eighty-fifth in biennial succession and the one hundred and thirtyth in republican history, some disagreements with the Spanish Governor of the neighbouring Duchy of Milan are remembered due to the blockade of the income of the Genoese nobles in that territory, on the other hand, the Doge had cordial relations with the Charles II, as the Spanish Empire was a great ally of the Genoese Republic. After the end of his Dogate on 1 September 1691, Oberto Della Torre retired to private life. He died in Genoa in 1698.[1]
