On 21 July 1644 Giustiniani was appointed by the Grand Council as the new doge of the Republic of Genoa, the 62nd in biennial succession and the one hundred and seventh in republican history. As doge he was also invested with the related biennial office of king of Corsica. Like his other predecessors, the doge of doge Luca Giustiniani was marked by the "economic, political and maritime rebirth" of the Republic of Genoa. After his two-year term, on 21 July 1646, he was elected from among the perpetual prosecutors after the favorable opinion of the supreme syndicators.
