Pompeo Giustiniani  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump
to: navigation, search  Pompeo Giustiniani was born in 1569 in
Ajaccio. When he started military career he was only fourteen
years old. In 1602, during the siege of Ostend, he was promoted
“Mastro di campo”. Thanks to his military experience, he wrote
the text “Delle guerre di Fiandra”, published in Antwerp in
1609.[1] In 1613 he entered in the Venetian army. During the
Uskok war Giustiniani argued with the other officials because of
his promises of victory. In 1616 he besieged Gradisca, but he
had to withdraw the army because the Habsburg forces were too
strong. On 10 October 1616, he was killed by the enemy army at
Lucinico, and was buried in Venice, at the San Moisè church.[2]
