Giustiniani is the name of a prominent Italian family which originally belonged to Venice, but also established itself in Genoa, and at various times had representatives in Naples, Corsica and in the islands of the Archipelago, where they had been the last Genoese rulers of the Aegean island of Chios, which had been a family possession for two centuries until 1566. ==In Venice== In the Venetian line the following are most worthy of mention: * Lorenzo Giustiniani (1381–1455), the Laurentius Justinianus of the Roman calendar. * Leonardo Giustiniani (1388–1446), brother of the preceding, was for some years a senator of Venice, and in 1443 was chosen ''procurator'' of St. Mark. He translated into Italian Plutarch's ''Lives of Cinna and Lucullus'', and was the author of some poetical pieces, amatory and religious ''strambotti'' and ''canzonettas'' as well as of rhetorical prose compositions. Some of the popular songs set to music by him became known as ''giustiniani''. *Bernardo Giustiniani (1408–1489), son of Leonardo, was a pupil of Guarino and George of Trebizond, and entered the Venetian senate at an early age. He served on several important diplomatic missions both to France and Rome, and about 1485 became one of the Council of Ten. His orations and letters were published in 1492; but his title to any measure of fame he possesses rests upon his history of Venice, ''De origine urbis Venetiarum rebusque ab ipsa gestis historia'' (1492), which was translated into Italian by Domenichi in 1545, and which at the time of its appearance was undoubtedly the best work on that subject. It is to be found in vol. 1 of the ''Thesaurus'' of Graevius. * Orsatto Giustiniani (1538–1603), Venetian senator, translator of the ''Oedipus Tyrannus'' of Sophocles and author of a collection of ''Rime'' in imitation of Petrarch. * Pietro Giustiniani, also a senator, lived in the 16th century, and wrote on ''Historia rerum Venetarum'' in continuation of that of Bernardo. He was also the author of chronicles ''De gestis Petri Mocenigi'' and ''De bello Venetorum cum Carolo VIII''. The latter has been reprinted in the ''Scriptores rerum Italicarum'', vol. xxi. * Marcantonio Giustinian (1619-1688), 107th Doge of Venice, from January 26, 1684 until his death. Son of Pietro Giustinian.〔Marcantonio Giustinian〕 The Venetian branches of the Giustiniani family are extinct. The family name and arms have been assumed by Baron Girolamo de Massa (1946) and his sons, Sebastiano, Andrea, Nicolò, Pio, Giorgio and Lorenzo, and their descendants, by testamentary disposition of the mother, Elisabetta Giustiniani (Giulio Giustiniani of St. Barnabas's daughter, sister of Maria Giustiniani married Vettor Giusti del Giardino and of Sebastiano Giustiniani, both without descendants). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giustiniani」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
