Count Angelo Geraldini (1422–1486) was an Italian humanist and diplomat, who became a bishop.
He studied canon law at the University of Perugia,[1] and was professor there 1444–46.[2] In the papal curia he was appointed count palatine by Pope Callistus III in 1455.[3]
He served under Niccolò Fortiguerra in the papal forces fighting Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, and against Ferrante.[4]
He was legal adviser to Cardinal Domenico Capranica.[3] In France he governed the Venaissin, at two periods.[3][5] He went on missions to the Council of Basel in 1482, and to the court of John II of Aragon, leading to a Spanish ministerial appointment and close involvement in the marriage of the Catholic Monarchs.[3]
He was bishop of Sessa Aurunca in 1465[6] and bishop of Kammin, from 1482 to 1485.
