Biography

Descended from an aristocratic family, several of Chieregati's relatives are recorded as prelates in several Dalmatian dioceses. These include:

Bishop of Kotor.^[1]

Originally from Vicenza,^[2] Pope Clement VII appointed Chieregati as Archbishop of Antivari on 11 May 1528.^[1] However, during Chieregati's pontificate in Antivari, he did not reside within the city.

From 1530, Chieregati served as an administrator of the

Antivari, although Chieregati never explicitly stated who his vicar was. In the letter, he also accused some of the clerics in Ulcinium of being inclined towards Protestantism

, therefore labeling them as heretics.

In 1541, Chieregati relocated to Antivari, formally regaining the administration of the archdiocese. Upon his relocation, he also illegally (not mandated by the Holy See)^[1] acted as the bishop of Budua.^[1]^[2] In 1546, he attended the Council of Trent where he requested the presence of his suffragans.

In 1551, Chieregati attended the Council of Trent once more, where he submitted his resignation as Archbishop.

Chieregati died in his hometown in 1573.
