Federico Baldissera Bartolomeo Cornaro (16 November 1579 – 5 June 1653) was aVenetianCatholicCardinal andPatriarch of Venice.
Cornaro was born inVenice on 16 November 1579, the son ofDogeGiovanni Cornaro and Chiara Delfino; he belonged toS. Paolo line of theHouse of Cornaro. He was the brother of DogeFrancesco Cornaro.[1] He started his education under the tutelage of his Cardinal uncle, until 1598 when his uncle died. Thereafter he returned to Venice and studied at theUniversity of Padua. In 1602, he went toRome and became acleric of theApostolic Chamber underPope Clement VIII. In 1607, he was appointed Governor ofCivitavecchia.
In February 1623, he was electedBishop of Bergamo, but retained the clericate of the Apostolic Chamber, and was consecrated in April by CardinalMarcantonio Gozzadini. Three years later he was elevated to Cardinal byPope Urban VIII and was installed as Cardinal-Priest ofSanta Maria in Traspontina and appointedBishop of Venice. His elevation was not without controversy as theRepublic of Venice prohibited any son of aDoge from accepting a papal appointment. Eventually, the Venetian senate approved the promotion but refused to approve his proposed appointments asBishop of Vicenza orBishop of Padua.
Cornaro was appointed Cardinal-Priest ofSanta Cecilia in Trastevere in 1627 andSan Marco in 1629 before being promoted toPatriarch of Venice in June 1631, a position he held until 1644. In the intervening period, he was appointedCamerlengo of the Sacred College of Cardinals from 1639 to 1641.
In 1644, he resigned his patriarchate and participated in thePapal conclave of 1644 which electedPope Innocent X. In 1646 he became Cardinal-Priest ofSanta Maria in Trastevere. In 1652, he opted for theorder of bishops to become Cardinal-Bishop of Albano.[2] Cornaro died on 5 June 1653 inRome and was buried at theCornaro Chapel in the church ofSanta Maria della Vittoria.
