Summary:

The last bull of Pope Pius III dated Oct. 17, 1503, addressed to Cardinal Raffaello Riario conferring upon him the administration of the Benedictine monastery of San Marziano at Tortona. However, the lead bull was never appended to the document as Pope Pius III died a few hours after it was written. His successor, Pope Julius II, conferred the administration of the monastery upon Cardinal Giovanni Piccolomini in the December of the same year (see Ms. Coll. 742, Folder 66).
