CALINI, Muzio, Bishop. - Born into a noble Brescian family in an unspecified year, died at Terni (of which city he was bishop) in April 1570. He was excellently educated according to the principles of Marc'Antonio Flaminio and Paolo Manuzio, and while still young he was taken on as secretary by Alvise Corner, archbishop of Zara and later cardinal, who brought him along to the island of Cyprus, of which he was grand prior. On 19 July 1555 Corner renounced the archbishopric of Zara in his favor, and in that capacity he took part in the Council of Trent, distinguishing himself greatly both by his participation in the work and as an orator. After the Council, before returning to Zara, he stayed in Rome, where he took part in the commissions for the reform of the Missal and the Breviary and also in the first drafting of the Roman catechism. On 12 July 1566 he obtained transfer to the episcopal church of Terni, which he held for only three years and honored with piety and reforming activity.
