Life
Emidio Taliani came to Rome at a young age , where he studied theology and law at the La Sapienza University there . His academic training was rounded off with a doctorate in civil law issues as well as a doctorate in canon law .
After his ordination on October 20, 1861, Taliani was appointed private secretary to Cardinal Carlo Sacconi and raised to the rank of monsignor . It was also Sacconi, who Taliani on 16 May 1869 his personal assistant to the Apostolic Nunciature in Munich sent where Taliani, only a year later, in 1870 the chargé d'affaires was promoted. After four years in Bavaria , Taliani moved to the Nunciature in Paris as a consultant from Cardinal Sacconi , where he worked between 1875 and 1879.
At the beginning of 1880 Taliani entered the service of the Curia and on March 17 of the same year was appointed prelate at the signature , the Supreme Court of the Vatican City . Another five years later, on March 16, 1885, he became Apostolic Protonotary . Most recently he was vicar of the Lateran Basilica under Cardinal Francesco Satolli in 1889 .
On June 22, 1896 Taliani was by Pope Leo XIII. Appointed Titular Archbishop of Sebastea . The ordination as bishop took place on June 29, 1896 by Cardinal Lucido Maria Parocchi . Only one month later, on July 24, 1896, Taliani was appointed Apostolic Nuncio in Austria-Hungary , an office which he held until 1903.
In his last consistory, just a month before his death, Pope Leo XIII took over. on June 22, 1903 Taliani joined the College of Cardinals . Taliani's participation in the subsequent conclave , in which Pope Pius X was elected, was not entirely undisputed, as Taliani was only cardinal on paper, but had not yet received the biretta or the cardinal ring. These insignia of the cardinal status were only given to him, like the six other clergymen, Leo XIII. had determined before his death, presented on November 12, 1903 by Pius X. At the same time the new cardinal priest was given the titular church of San Bernardo alle Terme .
Emidio Cardinal Taliani died on August 24, 1907, at the age of 69. He was buried in the family grave in the Ascoli Piceno cemetery.
