Pope Leo XII

Leo XII, born Annibale Francesco Clemente Melchiore Girolamo Nicola della Genga (August 22, 1760 – February 10, 1829), was Pope from 1823 to 1829. Della Genga was born of a noble family from La Genga (now just Genga), a small town in Ancona province: the place of his birth is uncertain, the usual candidates being Genga, Ancona, and Spoleto. He was educated at the Accademia dei Nobili Ecclesiastici at Rome, where he was ordained priest in 1783. In 1790 della Genga attracted favourable attention by a tactful sermon commemorative of the emperor Joseph II.
