TARLATI DI PIETRAMALA, GALEOTTO. - Cardinal, son of Magio, born in Arezzo, died at Vienne in the Dauphiné in 1396.
He belonged to a Ghibelline family that ruled in Arezzo in the 11th-15th centuries, and he himself took an active part in the tumultuous life of his city. Having entered the ecclesiastical career young, Urban VI made him cardinal deacon of the title of St. Agatha on 18 Sept. 1378. In 1386 T. and Cardinal Pileo di Prata rebelled against the Pope, who had sent five cardinals to their death at Genoa, and took refuge first at Pavia, from where they wrote a violent letter to the Bolognese against Urban (8 Aug. 1386; published in Historisches Jahrbuch, 16 [1893], pp. 827-31), then at Avignon with the antipope Clement VII, who recognized them in their cardinalatial dignity. T. held the title of St. George in Velabro and many benefices. At Avignon he took part in the election of the antipope Benedict XIII, in whose favor he sent a letter to the Romans (1394; in E. Martène - U. Durand, op. cit. in bibl., I, coll. 1343-45), and took part in a commission to put an end to the schism. He was a man of virtue and of letters and much esteemed in his time.
