Nephew of Pope Pius III.

Summary:

Bull of Pope Julius II dated Dec. 22, 1503, notifying Giovanni Dominci, the bishop of Tortona, that he had given the monastery of San Marziano at Tortona to the recently elected archbishop of Siena, Giovanni d'Andrea di Nanni Todeschini Piccolomini (a nephew of Pope Pius III who later became cardinal). Pope Pius III, however, had intended to give the monastery to Cardinal Raffaello Riario (see Ms. Coll. 742, folder 116), as he stated in a bull dated Oct. 17, 1503. One of the scribal signatures is that of Giovanni Poggio, most likely a grandson of Poggio Bracciolini.
