The Younger Giorgio was first ordained a priest on 17 November 1804. He was elevated by Pope Pope Pius VII to be a Cardinal In pectore on 8 March 1816, and not elevated to the position until 22 July 1816. He was appointed Prefect of the Sacred Congregation of Rites in 1771. He participated in the conclave of 1823, 1829, and 1830–1831.[1]
