History edit
He was the elder brother of the preceding doge, Lorenzo Priuli. Girolamo's face is familiar from Tintoretto's portrait.[2]
Girolamo was the son of Alvise Peruli and his wife Chiara Lion.[3]
As a man of culture he seemed insignificant in relation to his brother; ineloquent, he was at first scarcely popular but gained respect through the works embellishing the city that he achieved as doge, in a period, above all, of peace for the Repubblica Serenissima.[4]

His early career established him as an able merchant, though not among the most prominent. He served as procuratore di San Marco.[5]
His marriage with Elena Diedo produced a son who was named Antonio Priuli[dubious ] and he became the 94th Doge of Venice reigning from 1618 until his death.
