Life

He was the nephew of the Senese ruler Pandolfo Petrucci . His father was Jacopo Petrucci (also Giacoppo ), the brother of Pandolfo. Jacopo Petrucci acquired land from the Hospital Santa Maria della Scala around 1490 in order to build the palace, later called Palazzo del Governatore , near the cathedral of Siena . The building was later expanded by Raffaele Petrucci. The Castello di Bibbiano in today's Buonconvento , which he had restored by Baldassare Peruzzi , was one of the other possessions of Petrucci .

Bishop of Grosseto since August 4, 1497 , Pope Leo X elevated him to cardinal on July 1, 1517 and made him cardinal priest of the titular church of Santa Susanna on December 26, 1517 . From March 1513 to March 1516 he was Castellano ( cardinal prefect ) in Castel Sant'Angelo . From March 14, 1519 to March 14, 1520 he was also Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Bertinoro (today the Diocese of Forlì-Bertinoro ). He held the office of Bishop of Sovana (today the Diocese of Pitigliano-Sovana-Orbetello ) from 1520 to 1522. He took part in the conclave of 1521–1522 in Rome, in which Hadrian VI. was elected Pope. He had assumed a political office in the spring of 1516 when the Medici strategy under Leo X had taken hold of Siena and forced the escape of the cousin Borghese Petrucci .
