Antonio Castriani

Antonio Castriani (surname also given as Crastini) (c.1460 – August 11, 1510) was an Italian Roman Catholic bishop.[1]

Biography

Castriani was a native of Sassoferrato. He is said to have been the majordomo of Francesco Alidosi, who became a cardinal in 1505,[2] and Preceptor of Prince Francesco Maria Feltrio della Rovere; he served in Senigallia as locumtens of Duke Giovanni della Rovere of Sora, the father of Francesco.[3] Giovanni's brother, Pope Julius II, made Castriani a domestic prelate, and he was the pope's commensualis.[4]

On March 17, 1506, Antonio Castriani was appointed Bishop of Cagli by Pope Julius II, but this term was short-lived. He was appointed Bishop of Montefeltro on May 21, 1507, a position he held until his death on August 11, 1510.[1][5]
