Giulio Visconti Borromeo Arese

Giulio Visconti Borromeo Arese, Count of Pieve di Brebbia (1664 - 1750) was an Italian soldier and diplomat in the service of the Habsburg monarchy.

After the end of the War of the Spanish Succession, he entered the service of the Habsburgs, the new masters of his homeland in the Duchy of Milan.

In 1726 he was appointed Minister plenipotentiary of the Austrian Netherlands and thus the highest administrative officer under the governorship of Archduchess Maria Elisabeth.

His promotion to the independent position of Viceroy of Naples in 1733 can be interpreted as an indication of the satisfaction of the court in Vienna.

In a decree of Emperor Charles VI from June 18, 1738, he is described as Grandee of Spain, Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece, Privy Councilor of State, General of the Artillery and Obersthofmeister of the Empress.
