In 1518 he renounced the diocese of Como in favor of his brother Antonio , Bishop of Asti , which he nevertheless continued to administer, and in 1519 received the diocese of Piacenza as administrator , where he installed his nephew Cesare Trivulzio as administrator in 1525 . He took part in the conclave 1521-1522 , the Hadrian VI. elected to the Pope. He was also among the participants in the 1523 conclave, from which Clement VII emerged as Pope.
As a patron of the sciences and arts, he was appointed protector of the French nation at the Roman Curia by King Francis I of France , who entrusted him with the administration of the Vienne diocese in 1527 .
