Life
Early years
Ludovico Trevisan first studied poetry, then art and medicine, and obtained a doctorate in 1425 . After his studies he taught medicine in Venice before Cardinal Gabriele Condulmer brought him to Rome as a physicus in 1430. After Condulmer had become Pope as Eugene IV in 1431, he appointed Trevisan cubicularius and apostolic scriptor. He must have received his ordinations around this time .
Bishop and Cardinal
In 1435 he became Bishop of Trogir ( Italian Traù ), which he remained until 1437. In 1439 he became Patriarch of Aquileia . He held this position until his death.
After various trips with the Pope and a legacy in Romagna, Eugene IV took him on July 1, 1440 to the College of Cardinals . In the same year Trevisan became Camerlengo , as such he led the official business of the church during the sedis vacancies after the death of the respective Pope. He supported the Pope in the reconstruction of Rome and also helped him militarily in securing the papal state. He was instrumental in the overthrow of Cardinal Giovanni Vitelleschi , who had previously subjugated the republic in Rome on behalf of the Pope, but after correspondence with the condottiere Niccolò Piccinino was himself an opponent of Eugen. Cardinal Trevisan traveled through Italy as a legate in the following years, returned several times to Rome and finally took part in the conclave of 1447 , which elected Nicholas V Pope. Together with Francesco Condulmer (1390-1453) Trevisan then traveled to the Kingdom of Naples.
Eight years later he took part in the election of Calixt III. part. The new Pope appointed him admiral of the papal fleet. In this role he conquered many islands in the Mediterranean in 1456, and eventually became governor. Trevisan came into conflict with Calixt's successor, Pius II , and, for example, withdrew from the Prince's Congress in Mantua in 1459. He also made no secret of his personal aversion to Cardinal Pietro Barbo. When Barbo was elected Pope Paul II in 1464 , he appointed him Cardinal Bishop of Albano . Even so, he maintained his rivalry with this Pope. Out of bitterness over his choice, he is said to have died.
