Vincenzo Querini

Vincenzo Querini—or ''Quirinus'' in Latin.}} (1478/1479 – 23 September 1514) was a Venetian patrician, diplomat and church reformer.

An accomplished Renaissance humanist, he held a doctorate in philosophy and wrote poetry in Tuscan. He served as ambassador to Castile (1504–1506) and the Holy Roman Empire (1506–1507). In 1512, he became a Camaldolese monk and took the religious name Pietro.}} As a monk, he worked closely with his friend Tommaso Giustiniani for the reform of the order. They also addressed a tract to Pope Leo X arguing for a comprehensive reform of the church. His early death preempted Leo's plan to appoint him a cardinal. Provided by Wikipedia
