Pietro Bembo's Italian poetry, much of it …

Years: 1539 - 1539

Pietro Bembo's Italian poetry, much of it written in direct imitation of Petrarch, is published in 1530 in the collection “Rime.” In this year he accepted the office of official historian of the Republic of Venice, his homeland, and shortly afterwards was also appointed librarian of St Mark's Basilica.

Pope Paul III had on December 20, 1538, named him a cardinal in pectore and Bembo returned to Rome.

The following year he receives Holy Orders as a priest of the Order.

After this step his nomination as cardinal is published and he receives the red hat in a Consistory held on March 10, 1539, with title as Cardinal Deacon of the Church of San Ciriaco alle Terme Diocleziane (a title soon transferred to the Church of Santi Quirico e Giulitta).
