Antonio Gentile Pallavicini

bishop of Palestrina
.

Life

He was

Datary in the Roman Curia, and therefore did not reside in Ventimiglia. In 1493, the pope Alexander VI appointed him bishop of Pamplona, taking over from Cesare Borgia, against the will of the monarchs of Navarre, and finding instead the veiled support of Ferdinand II of Aragon.[6]

There is a well-known portrait by Titian. He was buried in the Old St. Peter's Basilica but his tomb was transferred to the Montemirabile Chapel in Santa Maria del Popolo in 1596.

Antonio's nephew was the cardinal Giovanni Battista Pallavicino (1480–1524).
