Biography

Maffeo Vitale was ordained a priest in the Order of Friars Minor.[2] On 5 February 1646, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Innocent X as Bishop of Mantova.[1][2] On 11 February 1646, he was consecrated bishop by Giovanni Giacomo Panciroli, Cardinal-Priest of Santo Stefano al Monte Celio, with Alfonso Gonzaga, Titular Archbishop of Rhodus, and Girolamo Farnese, Titular Archbishop of Patrae, serving as co-consecrators.[2] He served as Bishop of Mantova until his death on 23 June 1669.[2]

While bishop, he was the principal co-consecrator of Benedetto Odescalchi, Bishop of Novara (1651); and Rinaldo d'Este, Bishop of Reggio Emilia (1651).[2]

gollark: *My* consciousness is mostly a probabilistic anomaly so I'd be fine with the artifact.

gollark: Or did you just think 4sf was enough for the ad?

gollark: Also, is it precisely 1.312m or has it not been measured more accurately than that?

gollark: Oh bees did you actually work out the apioalgorithmoform?

gollark: The apiochronoformal artifact was in fact obliterated at the time and a GTech™ longitudinal stability field kept it from interfering when it reexisted.
