Background |
| |
Born in Siena, a member of the illustrious banking family of Chigi and a great-nephew of Pope Paul V (1605–1621), he was privately tutored and eventually received doctorates of philosophy, law, and theology from the University of Siena. |
| |
In 1627 he began his apprenticeship as vice-Papal legate at Ferrara, and on recommendations from two cardinals he was appointed successively Inquisitor of Malta and nuncio in Cologne (1639–1651). There, he supported Urban VIII's condemnation of Jansenius' Augustinus by the In eminenti papal bull of 1642. |
| |
In 1648, Cardinal Fabio Chigi was active on behalf of Pope Innocent X (1644-1655) in trying to destabilize and stop the fragile Treaty of Westphalia that ended the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). In spite of failing, he was then appointed Cardinal Secretary of State under Innocent X. |
| |
When Innocent X died, Chigi, the candidate favoured by Spain, was elected Pope after eighty days in the conclave, on April 7, 1655, taking the name of Alexander VII. |
| |
In April 1656, he announced that his brother and nephews would be coming to assist him in Rome. The administration was given largely into the hands of his relatives, and nepotism became as luxuriously entrenched as it even had been in the Baroque Papacy: he gave them the best-paid civil and ecclesiastical offices, and princely palaces and estates suitable to the Chigi of Siena. |
| |
Alexander VII favored the Jesuits. When the Venetians called for help in Crete against the Ottoman Turks, the Pope extracted in return a promise that the Jesuits should be permitted back in Venetian territory, when they had been expelled in 1606. He also continued to take the Jesuit part in their conflict with the Jansenists, whose condemnation he had vigorously supported as advisor to Pope Innocent X. |
| |
He died on May 22, 1667 and was immortalized in one of the most lavish and expensive tombs of modern history by Bernini. |
