[1] Pope Leo X named Ghinucci papal nuncio to England, where Henry VIII retained him for a period as advisor.

[2] Ghinucci's nephew, Augustine de Augustinis, served as personal physician to Cardinal Wolsey.

[3] In 1522, he succeeded Giulio de' Medici, the Cardinal protector of England as Bishop of Worcester (the last of the Italian absentees to hold the see).

In the same year, Ghinucci was made a Cardinal by Pope Paul III, and served on commissions to reform the Church.

A prominent Latin inscription commemorating him is to be seen in the north aisle of the basilica (to the right of the entrance to the sacristy and excavations).
