Centurione's dogal election, the sixty-ninth in biennial succession and the one hundred and fourteenth in republican history, which took place on October 15, 1658, was first decided by the 1237 Genoese nobles and no longer by the 400 representatives of the Grand Council of the Republic.

As doge he was also invested with the related biennial office of king of Corsica.

During his mandate he was tolerant and protected the Jews with the granting of free trade in Genoa, despite the strong frictions with the Catholic Church and the Inquisition.

Centurione died in Genoa in 1692.
