Pietro Querini Pezzagallo
Pietro Querini, commonly called Pezzagallo,[1] was a member of the patrician House of Querini. He served as Bailo of Negroponte, one of the most senior appointments in the Republic of Venice's overseas empire,[1] in 1306–1308.[2] On his return he was tried and fined with 500 ducats because he had allowed his son Nicolo to maltreat a member of the local Jewish community.[1] In 1309 he was again convicted and fined because he had resisted a search for concealed weapons by the Signori di Notte and assaulted the responsible officer.[3] Along with his brother Marco Querini he was involved in the Tiepolo conspiracy of 1310.[1]
