Bernardo de' Rossi
Bernardo de' Rossi (26 August 1468 – 28 June 1527) was an Italian bishop and patron of the arts.
Biography
Rossi was the son of a feudal family of the area of
bishop of Treviso.[1][2] Here he held a small court, featuring artists such as Lorenzo Lotto, who painted a portrait of him
around 1505.
In 1503, de' Rossi entered into conflict with the Venetian podestà of Treviso, Girolamo Contarini. In September of that year a plot set against him by the Onigo family failed as it was discovered before its application.
In 1509, after further controversies with the Venetian authorities, he was forced to leave the diocese, and moved to
Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, who had come to help his sister-in-law Bianca Riario, the wife of Troilo I de' Rossi
. Bernardo de' Rossi fled to Parma in 1524, and died a few years later, perhaps poisoned by his nephews Giovan Girlamo and Bertrando.
While bishop, he was the
Bishop of Pesaro (1513).[1]
