Pietro Barozzi (1441 - 1507) was an Italian Catholic and humanist bishop.
Son of the senator Ludovico Barozzi, he began to study Latin and Greek letters with his companions Pietro Delfino and Leonardo Loredan, all pupils of the master Pierleone Leoni. He then studied at the University of Padua, where he graduated in jurisprudence. In 1471 he was Bishop of Belluno and in 1487 Bishop of Padua. [1] [2] [3]
He devoted particular attention to architectural studies, which he put into practice in rearranging and decorating public and ecclesiastical structures, influenced by the style of Alberti. [4] Among his works was the frescoed chapel of Santa Maria degli Angeli. [3] . It is in Padua in the Museo Diocesano, the former bishop's palace, which Barozzi transformed into a magnificent Renaissance showplace. In 1506 he commissioned Bartolomeo Montagna to paint portraits of one hundred bishops of Padua in the Salone there [5] .
In recent times he is considered influential in humanism, and Hubert Jedin describes him as an exemplary bishop. [6]
On his initiative, the Monte di Pietà was established in Padua. [3] Between 1500 and 1506 he was the chancellor of the University of Padua. [7]
He died in 1507. The erudite bishop Pietro Barozzi left a large collection of books: juridical, theological works, of Greek, Latin and vernacular classics and humanist authors. [3] [8] Some of his manuscripts are now in England. [9]
