Contarini was noted for his personal bravery during the war. He also led a fundraising effort in which he personally liquidated his fortune for the country. Though in his seventies, he took personal command of the Venetian Navy (with Admiral Vettor Pisani as his chief of staff) and led troops in the critical Battle of Chioggia.
