Summary
This chapter discusses Monsignor Francesco Bianchini's birth in Verona and his education in Bologna, Padua, and Rome. It mentions how Bianchini emerged well-trained in the Jesuit humanistic curriculum and Galilean science. He was a diplomat by nature and necessity and his ambitions were moderate, as were his means, namely his parents, Gaspare and Cornelia, that were Venetian subjects of the merchant class. The chapter describes the Bianchini family that lived at the Ponte delle Navi, a bridge over the Adige close to the church of San Fermo Maggiore. Bianchini's nephew and first biographer, Alessandro Mazzoleni, mentioned singular piety as the first among his uncle's character traits.--, Provided by publisher
