He was the son of a rich Celsi family, and was previously noted for leading a flotilla against Genoa to help preserve Venetian interests. He was married to Marchesina Ghisi.[1] During his reign, Celsi confronted the revolt of St. Tito
in Crete, a rebellion that overthrew the official Venetian authorities and attempted to create an independent state.
Celsi was succeeded as Doge by Marco Cornaro.
