Biography
[edit]Bandinello Sauli was born in Genoa, ca. 1481, the son of nobles Pasquale Sauli and Mariola Giustiniani Longhi.[1]
Early in his career, he was a protonotary apostolic in Rome.[1] He was also an abbreviator and papal scribe until 1511.[1]
On 5 October 1506 Sauli was appointed Bishop of Malta at the age of 12. He held this position until 1509 when he was elected Bishop of Gerace and Oppido.[1] He held this post until 19 November 1517.[1]
Pope Julius II made him a cardinal deacon in the consistory of 10 March 1511.[1] He received the red hat on 13 March 1511 and the deaconry of Sant'Adriano al Foro.[1] He opted for the titular church of Santa Sabina on 24 October 1511.[1]
He participated in the papal conclave of 1513 that elected Pope Leo X.[1]
He was administrator of the see of Albenga from 5 August 1513 until 19 November 1517.[1] On 18 July 1516 he opted for the titular church of Santa Maria in Trastevere.[1]
On 22 June 1517 he was deposed as a cardinal by Pope Leo X, arrested, and placed in the Castel Sant'Angelo for his failure to disclose the assassination plot of Cardinal Alfonso Petrucci.[1] The pope restored him to the cardinalate sed non ad vocem activam et passivam on 31 July 1517, then restored him completely on 25 December 1517.[1]
Cardinal Sauli died in Monterotondo on 29 March 1518.[1] He was buried in Santa Maria in Trastevere.[1]
