He Was A Member Of A Famous Noble Venetian Family The Morosini Family Which Produced Several Doges And Generals. In 1685 At The Outbreak Of The Morean War Morosini Took Command Of A Fleet Against The Ottomans. Over The Next Several Years He Captured The Morea With The Help Of Otto Wilhelm Königsmarck As Well As Lefkada And Parts Of Western Greece. He Also Briefly Captured Athens But Was Unable To Hold It And Attempted A Failed Siege Of The Former Venetian Fortress Of Negroponte. His Fame Reached Such Heights That He Was Given The Victory Title Peloponnesiacus And Was The First Venetian Citizen To Have A Bronze Bust Placed During His Own Lifetime In The Great Hall. During The Siege Of Athens In 1687 The Parthenon Was Used As A Powder Magazine By The Ottomans When On September 26 1687 Morosini's Cannon Scored A Direct Hit On The Edifice. An Attaché Of The Swedish Field Commander General Otto Wilhelm Königsmarck Wrote Later: "How It Dismayed His Excellency To Destroy The Beautiful Temple Which Had Existed Three Thousand Years!". By Contrast Morosini Who Was The Commander In Chief Of The Operation Described It In His Report To The Venetian Government As A "Fortunate Shot". When He Conquered The Acropolis In Early 1688 Morosini Tried To Loot Athena's And Poseidon's Horses And Chariots From The West Pediment Of The Parthenon But The Sculptures Fell On The Ground And Smashed. This Was The First Documented Attempt To Remove Sculptures From The Pediments. Morosini Also Looted From The Port Of Piraeus The Famous Piraeus Lion Which Is On Display At The Venetian Arsenal. In The Summer Of 1688 Morosini Now Having Been Proclaimed Doge Of Venice Attacked Negropont But Was Unable To Capture It And Was Forced To Return To Venice When Plague Broke Out Among His Troops. He Embarked On A Final Campaign In 1693 But Was Again Unsuccessful In Taking Negropont And Returned To Venice After Sacking Some Minor Coastal Towns. After His Death In 1694 A Large Marble Arch Was Placed In His Honor At The Doge's Palace. Giovanni. Battista Hacque/ Hacque, Johann Baptist unknown

There He Supported Urban Viii's Condemnation Of The Heretical Book Augustinus By Cornelius Jansen Bishop Of Ypres In The Papal Bull In Eminenti Of 1642. Though Expected To Take Part In The Negotiations Which Led In 1648 To The Peace Of Westphalia Bishop Chigi And Other Catholic Delegates Declined To Deliberate With Persons Whom The Catholic Church Considered Heretics. Negotiations Therefore Took Place In Two Cities Osnabrück And Münster In Westphalia With Intermediaries Travelling Back And Forth Between The Protestant And The Catholic Delegates. Chigi Of Course Protested On Behalf Of The Papacy Against The Treaty Of Westphalia Once The Instruments Were Finally Completed. Pope Innocent Himself Stated That The Peace "Is Null Void Invalid Unjust Damnable Reprobate Inane Empty Of Meaning And Effect For All Time." The Peace Ended The Thirty Years' War 1618-1648 And Established The Balance Of European Power That Lasted Until The Wars Of The French Revolution 1789. Giovanni.

This Decisive Battle Led To The Ottoman Empire's Determination To End The Great Turkish War And Peace Negotiations Began At Sremski Karlovci. These Negotiations Eventually Produced The Treaty Of Karlowitz Signed On 26 January 1699 And Ending The Great Turkish War Including The Morean War.
