Cornelio Bentivoglio (27 March 1668 – 30 December 1732 in Ferrara) was an Italian nobleman and cardinal.
Born at Ferrara to the powerful Bentivoglio family, and a relative of the cardinal Guido Bentivoglio (1579 – 1644). Cornelio went to Rome at an early age and was appointed Archbishop of Carthage.[1]
In 1712, he was appointed nuncio to Paris. He locked horns with the Jansenists, led by Pasquier Quesnel in Paris, and was recalled after the death of Louis XIV of France in 1715.[1] He became cardinal in 1719,[1] and named legate for the province of Romagna until 1726. He was then named Spanish Minister Plenipotentiary at Rome, a position which he held until his death.[1] He is buried in the church of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere.[2]
