Biography
A member of the Spinola family, Agostino Spinola was born in Savona, Italy ca. 1482, the son of Giovanni Spinola, consignore of Garessio, and Petruccia Riario.[1] He was a grand-nephew of Pope Sixtus IV. He was a cousin of Cardinal Raffaele Riario.[1]
Early in his life, he was a secretary of Pope Julius II.[1]
On 19 December 1509 he was elected Bishop of Perugia.[1] He participated in the ninth through the twelfth sessions of the Fifth Council of the Lateran (1512–17).[1] He accompanied Pope Leo X on his trip to Bologna.[1]
Pope Clement VII made him a cardinal priest in the consistory of 3 May 1527.[1] He received the red hat and the titular church of San Ciriaco alle Terme Diocleziane on 3 August 1527.[1] He was the administrator of the see of Savona from 17 July 1528 until his death.[1] He resigned the administration of Perugia in favor of his brother Carlo Spinola on 15 February 1529.[1] He was the Camerlengo of the Sacred College of Cardinals from 1 January 1532 to 8 January 1533.[1] On 5 September 1534 he opted for the titular church of Sant'Apollinare alle Terme Neroniane-Alessandrine.[1]
He participated in the papal conclave of 1534 that elected Pope Paul III.[1] From 10 May 1535 until his death he was also the administrator of the see of Altari.[1]
He died in Rome on 18 October 1537.[1] He was buried in the convent of San Domenico in Savona.[1] When that church was demolished in 1544, the marble bas-relief of his tomb was placed in the Palazzo Pozzobonello-Del Carretto.[1]
