PATRIZI, COSTANTINO. - Cardinal, b. in Siena on 4 Sept. 1798, son of Giovanni, hereditary standard-bearer of the Holy Roman Church and senator of Rome, and of Princess Cunegonda of Saxony; d. in Rome on 17 Dec. 1876.
Ordained a priest in 1821, he was appointed by Pius VII domestic prelate, referendary of the Apostolic Signatura and ponens of the Buon governo, while Leo XII enrolled him among the auditors of the Rota. Gregory XVI made him his majordomo. In the Consistory of 23 June 1834 he created him and reserved him in pectore, publishing him on 11 July 1836 and conferring on him the title of St. Sylvester in capite.
In 1841 he became vicar general of Rome. In the Consistory held by Pius IX at Gaeta on 20 Apr. 1849 he opted for the suburbicarian see of Albano, subsequently passing to Porto and S. Rufina (12 Dec. 1860) and to Ostia and Velletri (11 Dec. 1870) as dean of the Sacred College. Prefect of the Congregations of the Ceremonial and of Rites and secretary of the Congregation of the Holy Office, he acted as procurator of Card. Carlo Odescalchi in the Consistory of 30 Nov. 1838 for the latter's renunciation of the purple; he solemnly conferred baptism on the Jew Alfonso M. Ratisbonne, converted following the miraculous apparition of the Madonna in S. Andrea delle Fratte (1842); he was finally legate of Pius IX in Paris for the baptism of Prince Eugène, son of Napoleon III (1856).
