| Summary: | Giovanni Maria Visconti s.j., member of a prominent family of the Milanese patriciate, received from his Superiors the task of writing a biography of the recently deceased Anton Giulio Brignole Sale (1605-1662), a famous man of letters and genoese politician. In 1648 Brignole Sale - after a long cursus honorum in the Republic of Genoa’s public offices and during a period of political crisis in the Genoese State - suddenly decided to end his career to become a diocesan priest and, later on, a fellow of the Society of Jesus. Visconti’s work, published in 1666 under the title Alcune memorie delle virtù del padre Anton Giulio Brignole, is all the more interesting that the author, describing Brignole Sale’s life and virtues, provides a sort of cautious hagiography, whilst avoiding the direct exaltation of Brignole’s double conversion, not to hurt the Genoese political establishment. |
