Biography edit

Nicolò d'Arcano was born in Cesene, Italy in 1637 and ordained a priest on 9 November 1670.[2] On 22 December 1670, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Clement X as Bishop of Comacchio.[1][2] On 4 January 1671, he was consecrated bishop by Marcello Santacroce, Bishop of Tivoli, with Pier Antonio Capobianco, Bishop Emeritus of Lacedonia, and Andrea Tamantini, Bishop of Cagli, serving as co-consecrators.[2] He served as Bishop of Comacchio until his death on 1 January 1714.[1][2]

While bishop, he was the principal co-consecrator of Leone Strozzi (archbishop), Bishop of Pistoia e Prato (1690); and Raimondo Ferretti, Bishop of Recanati e Loreto (1690).[2]
