Francesco Pannocchieschi d'Elci (1625 or 1626, Florence - 20 June 1702) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and archbishop.
He came from a noble Sienese family of the Pannocchieschi d'Elci, who held the status of counts.
Scipione's Relazione sulle cose della repubblica offers a glimpse of life in Venice at that time.
[1][2] Francesco also assisted Scipione to the court of Ferdinand III, Holy Roman Emperor in Germany (1653-1654).
This acted as an introduction to the church's life in Rome - Francesco became secret chamberlin or 'cubicularius' to the pope and canon of St Peter's Basilica.
