Giovanni Dolfin, also known as Giovanni Delfino or Delfin (c. 1303 – 12 July 1361), was the 57th Doge of Venice from his appointment on 13 August 1356 to his death in 1361.[1][2] Despite his value as a general, during his reign Venice lost Dalmatia. He was blinded in one eye after a wound received in battle.
