Illustrious Italian Nobility and a Papal Career
A fragmented account traces 17th century ties among Italian nobles and church power. It notes Albaneze gaining Roman senatorial rank, a son becoming Illiani, and John Francis becoming Pope Clement XI. It covers Barberini protection, clerical advancement, and the secretary of the briefs facing pushback over his likeness to an antique medal.
