Albertino Barisoni was born in
Padua, on 7 September 1587. His noble family was native to
Vigonza, a village next to Padua. Barisoni began his
humanistic education at
Padua and, after manifesting a talent and inclination for ecclesiastic life, was sent to
Rome to pursue the study of
philosophy. In Rome, he became a member of the
clergy. He returned to Padua in 1610 as a
Canon of the
cathedral and there continued his studies. He graduated in
philosophy on 8 February 1605, at the age of seventeen. Afterward, he continued his education by studying
law. In 1614, Barisoni went to Rome in the company of Paolo Gualdo to solve some curial questions and afterward (at an indeterminable date) was appointed to an abbacy in
Germany. However, he returned to Rome because he found the climate uncongenial. Having resigned his position as a canon when named an
abbot, upon his return to Padua, he retired to his family estate at
Vigonza and devoted himself to study. On 23 November 1653, Barisoni was appointed during the papacy of
Pope Innocent X as
Bishop of Ceneda. He performed an pastoral visit in 1665 and founded a monastery in Rua di Feletto. He served as Bishop of Ceneda until his death on 14 August 1667. ==Works==
