- Niccolò Fieschi
-
Niccolò Fieschi (c. 1456 – 1524) was an Italian Cardinal[1], of a prominent family of Genoa which features in Verdi's Simon Boccanegra.
He was bishop of Fréjus from 1485, and bishop of Agde from 1488. He was archbishop of Ravenna from 1516.
Notes
- ^ From 1503; bishop of Albano 1518, bishop of Sabina 1521, bishop of Porto e Santa Rufina 1523, bishop of Ostia 1524.
Nuccolo Fieschi can't be the Fieschi Verdi mantions in his Opera "Simon Boccanegra" since the Opera takes place in the middle of the 14th century and Niccolo lived in the 15th century.
