Biography
Antonio Ricciulli was born in Rogliano, Italy on 30 May 1582.[5] On 16 November 1626, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Urban VIII as Bishop of Belcastro.[4][5] He resigned as Bishop of Belcastro in 1629.[4] As vicegerent of the diocese of Rome, he was invested with powers in matters of civil and criminal jurisdiction, and in 1632 he also granted the imprimatur to Galileo Galilei 's Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems By using the si videbitur clause, he left the final decision to the Master of the Sacred Apostolic Palace. However, the authorization to print the Dialogue probably put him in difficulty with the Pope. On 16 February 1632, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Urban VIII as Bishop of Umbriatico.[3][5] On 7 February 1639, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Urban VIII as Bishop of Caserta.[2][5] On 27 November 1641, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Urban VIII as Archbishop of Cosenza.[1][5] He served as Archbishop of Cosenza until his death in May 1643.[1][5]
