Biography

Giulio Magnani was born in Piacenza in June 1505.[1] He entered the Order of Friars Minor Conventual. He earned a Doctorate of Sacred Theology and in 1549 became Attorney General of his order.[2] In 1551 he was appointed Vicar general of the Friars Minor Conventual and in Genoa in 1553 he was elected Minister General, an office he maintained up to 1559.[3]

Giulio Magnani participated to Council of Trent, including also the sessions in the years 1545–1547 as delegate of his order.[2] He was remembered as a gentle, erudite and austere man.[2]

On 17 July 1560, he was appointed by Pope Pius IV as Bishop of Calvi Risorta.[4] The episcopal consecration followed on 28 July 1560 in the Basilica of the Santi Apostoli in Rome by the hands of Pompeo Zambeccari.[1]

Since 1560, he served as Bishop of Calvi Risorta until his death occurred in Teano on 25 September 1565.[1] He was buried in the church of San Francesco in Teano.[5]
