Milan , was an Italian theologian and diplomat.At the age of twenty he obtained a doctorate in law, at the
University of Padua , and revealed such talents for diplomacy thatPope Paul III named him successively Governor of the city ofRome , Vice-Chamberlain Apostolic,Bishop of the Holy Sepulchre, and ofSaluzzo . He also sent him to preside in his name at theCouncil of Trent , then transferred toBologna .St. Ignatius Loyola found in him a powerful protector, in the early years of the
Society of Jesus , and only his death prevented his installation in the archiepiscopal chair of Milan to whichPope Paul IV had nominated him.His theological works are "De fide et sacramentis" (Cracow, 1545; Ingolstadt 1546; Turin, 1549) and "Oratio de nova christiani orbis pace habita" (Rome, 1544).
