Biography

Ottavio Accoramboni was born in

episcopal consecration followed on 8 June in the Sistine Chapel by the hands of cardinal Benedetto Lomellini.[3]
He remained unrelated to the bloody events which involved his sister Vittoria. Ottavio resigned from his bishopric in 1610 and returned to live in Rome.[1]

On 4 June 1614, he was appointed

Apostolic Nuncio to Portugal.[4] In Portugal Ottavio supported the action of the Jesuits in the Far East, and introduced the cult of Charles Borromeo and Frances of Rome: in particular on 27 June 1616 he organized a procession by boats from Aldeia Galega to Lisbon in honor of Saint Charles.[5] The other main effort of Ottavio was to defend the interests of the Church and in particular he opposed the law that required a permit of the king for the ecclesiastics to buy real estates. To sanction violations of the Church's jurisdiction, on 27 June 1617 he imposed a general interdict in Portugal, which was left only on 30 May of the following year after the intervention of Rome.[5]

On 4 June 1620 Vincenzo Landinelli was appointed as Nuncio in his place,[4] but Ottavio remained in Portugal until the end of 1622.[5] On 17 May 1621, he had been appointed

San Gregorio al Celio. On about 1672 his relatives moved his tomb to the new erected family chapel in Sant'Andrea delle Fratte
