PIETRO DE MONTE. - Canonist, b. in Venice in 1433, d. in Rome on 12 January 1457.
He was a pupil in Paris at the Collège de Navarre and became magister artium; at the University of Padua he took his doctorate in utroque iure (1433). He soon found himself at the Council of Basel, where he was a strenuous champion of the rights of the Holy See and was charged with requesting the liberation of CardinalCondulmer, taken prisoner by the Romans. Eugene IV sent him to England as nuncio and collector of tithes. Having succeeded in detaching the English from the Council of Basel, by then schismatic, he returned to Rome and was appointed bishop of Brescia. Before taking possession of the diocese, he was sent as legate a latere to Charles VII of France to induce him to withdraw the "Pragmatic Sanction" of Bourges. His efforts having proved vain, he settled in Brescia (1445); in 1451 he was sent as legate to Perugia; from 1454 he remained in Rome as apostolic referendary.
