Biography

Girolamo de Franchis was born in Naples, Italy in 1581.[2] On 13 November 1617, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Paul V as Bishop of Nardò.[1][2][3] On 26 November 1617, he was consecrated bishop by Ladislao d'Aquino, Bishop of Venafro, with Antonio d'Aquino, Bishop of Sarno, and Innico Siscara, Bishop of Anglona-Tursi, serving as co-consecrators.[2] On 27 November 1634, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Urban VIII as Archbishop of Capua.[2] He served as Archbishop of Capua until his death in January 1635.[2]

While bishop, Franchis was the principal co-consecrator of Placido Padiglia, Bishop of Lavello (1627).[2]
