Romeo Querini

Romeo Querini was a 13th-century Venetian nobleman and administrator.

Life
Romeo Querini is first attested in 1209 in Venice. By May 1229 he was already serving as the Venetian Podestà of Constantinople. As his predecessor, Giovanni Querini, was still in office in December 1228, and assuming a normal tenure of two years, Romeo Querini likely remained in office until 1231.

Querini served as ducal councillor in Venice in 1233/34 and again in 1234/35, and as ambassador to Pope Gregory IX in 1239. He is finally attested as governor (podestà) of Chioggia in 1241.
