Alvise Michiel (Latin: Aloysius Michaelius, 1513 – 1582) was an Italian clergyman and bishop for the Archdiocese of Split.[1]
Biography[edit]
Alvise Michiel was born in 1513 to Maffio, a Venetian of noble family.[2] He was appointed bishop of Split on 19 July 1566, and consecrated Bishop by Giovanni Delfino (bishop of Torcello) on 17 November 1566 in the church of San Michele in Isola.[3] On 3 August 1575 he obtained the appointment of a coadjutor bishop.
In 1580 he was took to trial charged by the Republic of Venice of embezzlement in acting as executor of a will, but the Holy See fircely proteced him, excommunicating the prosecutor and asking for a formal apology from the Republic.[4]
Since 1575 Alvise Michiel retired to Venice,[1] where he died on 25 September 1582.[3]
