Federico Baldissera Bartolomeo Cornaro , Venetian Federigo Cornèr (born November 16, 1579 in Venice , † June 5, 1653 in Rome ), was an Italian cardinal and patriarch of Venice .
Life
Federico Cornaro was a descendant of the powerful Venetian Cornaro family (Venetian: Cornèr ). His father was the Doge Giovanni I. Cornaro , his uncle the Bishop of Treviso Francesco Cornaro , who became a Curia Cardinal in Rome in 1596 . Federico went there to study at the age of 17, but after the death of his uncle in 1598 he returned to Veneto and continued his studies at the University of Padua . There he founded the Accademia dei Ricovrati in 1599 with Galileo Galilei and 24 other companions in his house .
After completing his legal doctorate , Cornaro returned to Rome and became the chierico di camera of Clement VIII. From 1623 he held the episcopal see of Bergamo , Vicenza and Padua before becoming patriarch of his hometown of Venice in 1631.
As early as 1626 he was elevated to cardinal by Urban VIII and appointed cardinal priest of Santa Maria in Traspontina . He later changed his title churches more often . The cardinalate had been awarded to him against the resistance of the Senate of Venice, according to whose principles a son of a dog was not allowed to accept papal offices. However, the waves calmed down and in 1632 he was able to move into San Pietro di Castello as Patriarch .
When Conclave 1644 to Cornaro set for the election of Innocent X. a. In the same year he renounced his patriarchal office because of the tense relations between Venice and Rome and pursued his career at the Curia more closely . In 1652 he became cardinal bishop of the suburbicarian diocese of Albano . His goal of climbing Petri's chair himself was not hidden from his contemporaries.
Cornaro resided in the Palazzo Venezia and distinguished himself as a financially strong patron of representative buildings. In 1647 he commissioned Gian Lorenzo Bernini to build the Cappella Cornaro in the church of Santa Maria della Vittoria as a family burial place . It was completed a year before his death and he was buried in it.
