Girolamo Verospi (born July 27, 1599 in Rome , † January 5, 1652 in Osimo ) was an Italian cardinal and Roman Catholic bishop .
biography
His parents were Ferdinando Verospi and Giulia de 'Massimi. He was the nephew of Cardinal Fabrizio Verospi , the brother of his father Ferdinando. He probably studied law because he was a young lawyer who campaigned for the cause of the Roman Curia and in 1627 succeeded his uncle Fabrizio as auditor of the Sacra Romana Rota .
On December 16, 1641 he was appointed cardinal by Pope Urban VIII . On February 10 of the following year he received the titular church of Sant'Agnese in Agone and was also elected Bishop of Osimo . At that time he had not yet been ordained a priest, but in a few months he completed his entire ecclesiastical career, until he was exiled on April 27, 1642 by Cardinal Antonio Marcello Barberini and co-consecrants Fausto Poli , titular archbishop of Amasea , and Celso Zani , former Bishop of Città della Pieve , who was ordained bishop.
After his death on January 5, 1652, he was buried in the Cathedral of Osimo, but in 1666 his body was exhumed and transferred to Rome, where he was buried in the family chapel in the church of Santissima Trinità dei Monti .
