Benedetto Dolfin

Benedetto Dolfin was a Venetian patrician, the son of Enrico Dolfin, born into one of the wealthiest houses of the Venetian nobility. He was active in politics after the closing of the Great Council in 1297 and became procurator of St Mark's de supra in 1300.

He foiled a conspiracy led by Marin Bocconio. His son Giovanni Dolfin, probably born around 1303, was elected doge of Venice in 1356.
