Alvise Michiel (Latin: Aloysius Michaelius, 1513 – 1582) was an Italian clergyman and bishop for the Archdiocese of Split.
[1] Alvise Michiel was born in 1513 to Maffio, a Venetian of noble family.
[3] On 3 August 1575 he obtained the appointment of a coadjutor bishop.
In 1580 he was taken to trial charged by the Republic of Venice of embezzlement in acting as executor of a will, but the Holy See fiercely protected him, excommunicating the prosecutor and asking for a formal apology from the Republic.
[4] Since 1575 Alvise Michiel retired to Venice,[1] where he died on 25 September 1582.
