Giovanni Aldobrandini

Giovanni Aldobrandini (1525 – 7 September 1573) was an Italian Roman Catholic bishop and cardinal.

[1] He was the son of Silvestro Aldobrandini, governor of Fano, and wife Lisa Donati.

[3] He was consecrated as a bishop in capella domus suæ solitæ habitationis by Scipione Rebiba, Archbishop of Pisa, on December 8, 1569 with Giulio Antonio Santorio, Archbishop of Santa Severina, and Felice Peretti Montalto, Bishop of Sant'Agata de' Goti, serving as co-consecrators.

The pope charged him with convincing Spain and the Republic of Venice to join a league against the Ottoman Empire or to contribute money to that cause.

He was buried in the Aldobrandini Chapel of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.
