[2] Barisoni began his humanistic education at Padua and, after manifesting a talent and inclination for ecclesiastic life, was sent to Rome to pursue the study of philosophy.

[2] In 1614, Barisoni went to Rome in the company of Paolo Gualdo to solve some curial questions and afterward (at an indeterminable date) was appointed to an abbacy in Germany.

Having resigned his position as a canon when named an abbot, upon his return to Padua, he retired to his family estate at Vigonza and devoted himself to study.

In 1622, he edited and published, with a commentary, the work of his friend, the poet Alessandro Tassoni, entitled La secchia rapita.

[2] He is remembered as one of the first theorists of the archival studies, due to his Commentarius de archivis antiquorum (published posthumous in 1737).
