A native of
Sardinia and a member of the
Dominican Order, Agostino Pipia was the
Master of the Sacred Palace. In 1721, a Dominican
General Chapter elected him to be Master of the Order of Preachers. In 1724, the Dominican Cardinal Orsini became
Pope Benedict XIII. The pope often worshiped in Dominican churches and raised the privileges of the order. The pope made Pipia a
cardinal in 1724. Pipia died the next year. ==References==
