Girolamo Simoncelli (1522, Orvieto, then in the Papal States – 24 February 1605, Rome) was an Italian cardinal.
Simoncelli was made a cardinal by his great-uncle, Pope Julius III, in the consistory of 22 December 1553.
[1] The Prophecy of the Popes was possibly forged in order to support Simoncelli's bid for the papacy in the second conclave of 1590.
[2][3] In 1559, the bishop of Orvieto and cardinal, Girolamo Simoncelli, had acquired property for the monastery Buon Gesù, Orvieto.
