Pope Innocent IX
1519 CE–1591 CE · Italy (Soncino/Bologna)
Born Giovanni Antonio Facchinetti in Bologna, Innocent IX reigned barely two months in the winter of 1591. A trained canon lawyer, he had served as Patriarch of Jerusalem in title, nuncio to Venice, and a senior curial administrator, gaining a reputation for diligence. As pope he reorganized the administration of the Papal States, continued Spanish-aligned support for the Catholic side in France, and undertook practical works such as efforts to control flooding of the Tiber. Already elderly and frail at his election, he fell ill after a devotional pilgrimage on foot through Rome's churches and died at the end of December.
