Angelo Giori

Angelo Giori (11 May 1586, Capodacqua - 8 August 1662, Rome) was an Italian Catholic Cardinal.

He began his studies at the Grammatica at Camerino and completed them at the Archgymnasium of Rome, where he studied literature, rhetoric, Greek, logic, physics and Latin and graduated in civil and criminal canon law.

[1] Allying himself with his uncle Cesareo Giori, Angelo entered the service of cardinal Maffeo Barberini, later to become Pope Urban VIII, as his secretary.

Giori acted as pedante to the Pope's nephews - Taddeo, Francesco and Antonio Barberini - while they were still of school age.

[2] Pope Urban elevated him to cardinal in the consistory of 13 July 1643 and on 31 August that year he received the purple and the titulus of Santi Quirico e Giulietta.
