JUSTINIANI (St Laurence), the first patriarch of Venice, was born there, of a noble family, in 1381. He was a very pious prelate, and died in 1485; he left several pieces of piety, which were printed together at Lyons in 1568, in one volume folio, with his life prefixed by his nephew. Clement VII. beatified him in 1524, and he was canonized by Alexander VIII. in 1690.
