Personal life

Pianetti was born on 7 February 1780 in Jesi, Italy.

He was educated at the Collegio Nazareno, the University of Macerata (where he received a doctorate in utroque iuris, both civil and canon law) and finally at the Pontifical Academy of Ecclesiastical Nobles.[1]

Priesthood

Pianetti was ordained as a Priest on 31 March 1804. He was elected bishop of Viterbo e Tuscania in 1826 and was consecrated that same year by Pope Leo XII.[2] He served as Bishop of Viterbo for almost 35 years until his retirement in 1861 at the age of 81.

He was appointed Vice-governor of Rome on three occasions and was appointed Auditor of the Sacred Roman Rota.

Cardinalate

Pianetti was elevated to Cardinal (in pectore) in 1839 and was formally revealed as a Cardinal in 1840.[3]

He participated in the Papal Conclave of 1846, which elected Pope Pius IX.

He was appointed Camerlengo of the Sacred College of Cardinals from 1861 to 1862 and was Grand chancellor of the Pontifical Equestrian Orders.

Death and burial

Pianetti died on 30 January 1862, aged 82, in Rome and was buried, according to his will, in the church of San Salvatore in Lauro.
