Biography

Giambattista Visconti was born in Milan, Italy and ordained a priest in the Order of Saint Augustine.[2] On 16 March 1609, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Paul V as Bishop of Teramo.[2] On 29 March 1609, he was consecrated bishop by Giovanni Garzia Mellini, Bishop of Imola, with Ottavio Belmosto, Bishop Emeritus of Aleria, and Antonio d'Aquino, Bishop of Sarno serving as co-consecrators.[2] He served as Bishop of Teramo, until his death on 11 May 1638.[2]

While bishop, he was the principal co-consecrator of Giovanni Dominico Giaconi, Bishop of Guardialfiera (1617); and Giovanni Michele de Varolis, Bishop of Cefalonia e Zante (1625).[2]
