Pope Benedict XV made him Cardinal-Priest of Santa Maria in Trastevere in the consistory of 13 June 1921.[6] He was one of the cardinal electors who participated in the 1922 papal conclave, which elected Pope Pius XI; erroneous news from Rome reported that Tacci himself had been elected.[7]

Notes

  1. ^ He dropped "Porcelli", "pigs" in Italian, from his name at the suggestion of Pope Benedict XV[1] and appears several times in Acta Apostolicae Sedis between 1916 and 1927 as Giovanni Tacci. In 1914 he signed two letters to Cardinal Rafael Merry del Val as Giovanni Tacci.[2] The New York Times nevertheless called him Giovanni Tacci Porcelli when reporting he was made a cardinal in 1921.[3]
