""To the Glory of God,
Jerome Verallo, a Roman, by Paul III, the Roman Purple was given to him, a position he deserved. He was sent as an envoy to Emperor Charles V in Germany, by decree, and served diligently in the Turkish War and in matters of religion. He also assisted in the negotiations with Henry II, King of France, and as a legate, he successfully concluded the Parma War. He further enhanced the administration of Urban VII, his nephew and pupil, in the governance of the Christian Republic, with his domestic institution perfectly organized. He died in the year of our Lord 1555, at the age of 60." " |
