Biography

Giacopo Antonio Venier was born in Recanati in 1422.[1][2] After obtaining a doctorate in law, he moved to Rome to become a papal scriptor.[1] He later became a cleric in the Apostolic Camera.[1]

On September 15, 1460, Alfonso V of Aragon named him Bishop of Siracusa.[1] Pope Pius II confirmed this appointment on January 9, 1462.[1] On September 16, 1464, he was transferred to the see of León, with Venier taking possession of the bishopric on October 7.[1] He was consecrated as a bishop on December 22, 1465 in the church of Sant'Apollinare alle Terme Neroniane-Alessandrine in Rome by Cardinal Guillaume d'Estouteville, Archbishop of Rouen.[1] Pope Paul II named Venier nuncio to Henry IV of Castile, who resent Venier to Rome as his ambassador.[1] In 1460, he became the pope's nuncio to Francesco I Sforza in Milan.[1] He was transferred to the see of Cuenca on October 6, 1469, taking possession of the see on August 7, 1470.[1] He occupied this see until his death.[1]

In the consistory of May 7, 1473, Pope Sixtus IV made Venier a cardinal priest.[1] On May 10, 1473, he received the red hat in the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore; and on May 17, he received the titulus of Santi Vito, Modesto e Crescenzia (a deaconry raised pro illa vice to titulus).[1] He opted for the titular church of the Basilica di San Clemente on December 3, 1476.[1]

He died in Recanati on August 3, 1479.[1] He was transferred to Rome and buried in the Basilica di San Clemente on August 12, 1479.[1]

While bishop, he was the principal consecrator of Alfonso de Fonseca, Bishop of Ávila (1470).[2]
