BALDUINO, BALDUINO. - Professor of medicine at the University of Bologna, b. around 1500 at Barga (Garfagnana), d. in 1582 at Aversa. He was protected by Card. Del Monte and accompanied him to the Council of Trent. When the cardinal was elected Pope under the name Julius III, he summoned him to himself as archiater and entrusted him with important political missions in Europe; the truce between Henry II and Philip II was attributed to B.'s work.
He was appointed bishop of Mariana in Corsica (17 Dec. 1550) and then of Aversa (30 May 1554), where he introduced important reforms. Accused under Pius IV and imprisoned in Rome, he was freed after four years and was able to return to the governance of the diocese.
