Francesco Pannocchieschi

Francesco Pannocchieschi d'Elci (1625 or 1626, Florence - 20 June 1702) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and archbishop.

Life

He came from a noble Sienese family of the Pannocchieschi d'Elci, who held the status of counts. He was the son of count Ranieri and a noblewoman from the Altoviti family. One of Ranieri's brothers was cardinal Scipione Pannocchieschi, whom Francesco accompanied during Scipione's Pontifical Legature to the Republic of Venice (1647-1652). Scipione's Relazione sulle cose della repubblica offers a glimpse of life in Venice at that time.[1][2] Francesco also assisted Scipione to the court of Ferdinand III, Holy Roman Emperor in Germany (1653-1654).

This acted as an introduction to the church's life in Rome - Francesco became secret chamberlin or 'cubicularius' to the pope and canon of St Peter's Basilica.[3] He succeeded his uncle as archbishop of Pisa in 1663 and made a solemn entrance into Pisa on 23 December 1663. He remained in Pisa for almost forty years, finally dying there on 20 June 1702.
