Angelo Cesi (1530–1606) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Todi (1566–1606).[1]
Cesi was born in Rome, Italy in 1530.[2] On 15 February 1566, he was appointed at the age of 36 years as Bishop of Todi during the papacy of Pope Pius V.[1][2] On 31 March 1566, he was consecrated bishop by Giulio Gentile, Bishop of Vulturara e Montecorvino, with Bernardino de Cupis, Bishop of Osimo, and Ippolito Arrivabene, Bishop Emeritus of Hierapetra, serving as co-consecrators.[2] He served as Bishop of Todi for 40 years until his death on 30 November 1606 in Todi, Italy.[1][2]
While bishop, Cesi was the principal co-consecrator of Ottavio Santacroce, Bishop of Cervia (1576); and Pietro Francesco Montorio, Bishop of Nicastro (1594).[2]
In Todi, the bishop was active in construction of a number of architectural projects. Cesi was buried in his family's chapel built into the apse of the Todi Cathedral.
