Giulio Gabrielli

On 27 Apr 1642, he was consecrated bishop by Antonio Marcello Barberini (seniore), Cardinal-Priest of San Pietro in Vincoli, with Faustus Poli, Titular Archbishop of Amasea, and Celso Zani.

[2][3] Gabrielli was elevated to Cardinal by Pope Urban VIII in December 1641[1] and in February 1642 was made Cardinal-Priest of Santa Maria Nova and was elected Bishop of Ascoli Piceno.

His contemporary, John Bargrave, suggested his promotions within the Church were more related to Pope Urban's wish to sell his position to a higher bidder, rather than on merit or service[4][unreliable source?]

He participated in the conclave of 1655[2] that elected Pope Alexander VII and opted for the deaconry of Santa Maria in Via Lata later that year.

[2] He died on 31 August 1677 from malaria; he was buried in the Gabrielli chapel of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.
