Domenico Consolini

Domenico Antonio Luigi Pacifico Nicola Baldassare Consolini (7 June 1806 – 20 December 1884). He was the fourth son of the Marchese Tommaso Consolini and Angela Grapelli.

He studied at Senigallia and later at the Pontifical Academy of Ecclesiastical Nobles, Rome, receiving the Sacred Orders as bishop in Rome, on 20 December 1832. He was the last Catholic man created a bishop without first being ordained a priest.

Appointed Cardinal during the consistory of 22 June 1866, he received the red hat and the deaconry of Santa Maria in Domnica. He was Camerlengo of the Holy Church from 24 March 1884 until his death.

After his death, his body was exposed at the church of Saint Eustachio, being buried temporarily in Campo Verano cemetery, Rome. Later, the countess Marcolini Solustri, daughter of the marchise Teresa Consolini in Solustri, took his bones back to Senigallia where was later reburied at the local Cimitero delle Grazie.
