Bandinello Sauli (c. 1481 – 28 March 1518) was an Italian Roman Catholic bishop and cardinal.

Biography[]

Bandinello Sauli was born in Genoa, ca. 1481, the son of nobles Pasquale Sauli and Mariola Giustiniani Longhi.[1]

Early in his career, he was a protonotary apostolic in Rome.[1] He was also an abbreviator and papal scribe until 1511.[1]

On October 5, 1506 Sauli was appointed Bishop of Malta at the age of 12. He held this position until 1509 when he was elected Bishop of Gerace and Oppido.[1] He held this post until November 19, 1517.[1]

Pope Julius II made him a cardinal deacon in the consistory of March 10, 1511.[1] He received the red hat on March 13, 1511 and the deaconry of Sant'Adriano al Foro.[1] He opted for the titular church of Santa Sabina on October 24, 1511.[1]

He participated in the papal conclave of 1513 that elected Pope Leo X.[1]

He was administrator of the see of Albenga from August 5, 1513 until November 19, 1517.[1] On July 18, 1516, he opted for the titular church of Santa Maria in Trastevere.[1]

On June 22, 1517, he was deposed as a cardinal by Pope Leo X, arrested, and placed in the Castel Sant'Angelo for his failure to disclose the assassination plot of Cardinal Alfonso Petrucci.[1] The pope restored him to the cardinalate sed non ad vocem activam et passivam on July 31, 1517, then restored him completely on December 25, 1517.[1]

Cardinal Sauli died in Monterotondo on March 29, 1518.[1] He was buried in Santa Maria in Trastevere.[1]
