Marcantonio Colonna (16 August 1724 – 4 December 1793) was an Italian
Cardinal-Priest of Santa Maria della Pace by Pope Clement XIII on 19 April 1762. Soon thereafter, on 25 April, Colonna was ordained a bishop. Pope Clement XIII acted as his consecrator while Cardinal Gian Francesco Albani (grand-nephew of Pope Clement XI) and Cardinal Henry Benedict Stuart
acted as co-consecrators.
In 1763, he was appointed Prefect of the Congregation for Residence of Bishops and in January of that year, he was appointed Archpriest of the
Cardinal-Bishop of Palestrina. Colonna died on 4 December 1793.[1]
