He was the fourth son of Gianfrancesco Gonzaga , the Marquis of Mantua and Paola Malatesta.

At the age of four he became a student of Vittorino da Feltre in his Ca 'Zoiosa. A lover of poetry, he wrote a poem in verse that describes the arrival of Emperor Sigismund in Mantua in 1433 .

Under the supervision of one of Vittorino's closest collaborators, Iacopo da San Cassiano, Gianlucido was sent to Pavia from 1438 to 1442 to study law and became an apostolic protonotary . After his father's death in 1444 , he inherited the lands of Volta , Cavriana , Ceresara , San Martino Gusnago, Piubega , Rodigo and Castellaro .

It is known that he in 1442 to as Pavia Belbello the contract for the Missal (known as the Cathedral of San Pietro in Mantua Missal of Barbara of Brandenburg ) announced. It is now in the Museo Diocesano Francesco Gonzaga . He commissioned Barbara von Brandenburg to complete the parchment missal, which was completed at the suggestion of Andrea Mantegna in 1465 by the miniaturist Girolamo da Cremona , with his assistant Taddeo Crivelli .
