Loicia da Prata

Loicia da Prata (fl. 1268), was the Dogaressa of Venice by marriage to the Doge Reniero Zeno (r. 1252-1268). She was described as beautiful, virtuous and generous; though banned by a new law to make donations and receive supplicants, she overstepped the law by her charity, which made her very popular.
