Patrizi family.
Biographical notes:
The original Patrizi family has been extinct since 1736, but the name has been carried on twice through the maternal side.
Cardinal Costantino Patrizi (1798-1876) was born at Siena, the son of Giovanni, who was a hereditary standard bearer of the church and a senator of Rome. Costantino was ordained a priest in 1821. Under Pius VII he was named a domestic prelate and appointed a referendary of the Apostolic Signatura. Leo XII inscribed him among the auditors of the Rota. Gregory XVI appointed him his major domo. In the consistory of 1834 Gregory also named him a cardinal in petto but did not publish the fact until 1836. In 1841 Costantino became vice-general of Rome. In the consistory held by Pius IX at Gaeta in 1849, he was selected for the suburban see of Albano. He moved successively to Porto and S. Rufina (1860), then to prefect of the Congregation of Ceremonies and Rites and then to secretary of the Congregation of the Holy Office. In 1870 he became dean of the College of Cardinals. He officiated as procurator for Carlo Cardinal Odescalchi in the consistory of 1838 when the cardinal abandoned his "purple" in order to work with the missions. He was legate of Pius IX to Paris for the baptism of Prince Eugene, son of Napoleon III (1856).
Francesco (1413-1494) was bishop of Gaeta, governor of Foligno, and friend of Enea Silvio Piccolomini (Pius II, 1458-1464). A later Francesco (1529-1597), a philosopher, was born at Cherso del Quernaro and died in Rome. Following his uncle's wishes he joined the Venetian naval fleet. Not satisfied there he went to Padua to study medicine, relinquishing his attraction for letters and philosophy. Francesco Saverio, S.J. (1797-1881), an exegete, was born in Rome. Francesco entered the Society of Jesus (1814) and eventually became a professor of Hebrew and biblical exegesis in the Roman College and also at Louvain. The precise relationship between the series listed below and specific family members was not determined.
