Troiano Acquaviva d'Aragona

Troiano Acquaviva of Aragon (14 January 1696 – 20 March 1747) was an Italian cardinal and Catholic archbishop.

[1] He was created cardinal by Pope Clement XII in the consistory of 1 October 1732, and on 17 November that year he received the titular designation of Santi Quirico e Giulitta, whose restoration was not quite complete.

In 1732, Charles of Bourbon began to make use of Cardinal Acquaviva as his unofficial, representative to the Holy See.

He participated in the conclave of 1740,[3] in which he was the bearer of veto by Philip V of Spain against the election of Cardinal Pier Marcellino Corradini.

[1] He was also an adviser to Pope Benedict XIV, in the matter of the Church's charges against King Charles III of Naples during the war for the succession to the throne of Austria.

He died on 20 March 1747, in Rome, after a long and painful illness; Pope Benedict XIV presided at his funeral.
