Gaudenzio Poli was born in 1609 in Castello Scheggino, Italy and ordained a deacon in Jan 1643.[2] On 23 Feb 1643, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Urban VIII as Bishop of Amelia.[1][2] On 8 Mar 1643, he was consecrated bishop by Faustus Poli, Titular Archbishop of Amasea, with Giovanni Battista Altieri (seniore), Bishop Emeritus of Camerino, and Lelio Falconieri, Titular Archbishop of Thebae, serving as co-consecrators.[2] He served as Bishop of Amelia until his death on 28 May 1679.[1][2]
