Carnesecchi, Pietro

Carnesecchi, Pietro

▪ Florentine heretic
born Dec. 24, 1508, Florence [Italy]
died Oct. 1, 1567, Rome, Papal States

      controversial Italian humanist and religious reformer executed because of his sympathy for and affiliation with the Protestant Reformation. He was patronized by the Medici, particularly Pope Clement VII, to whom he became principal secretary. At Naples in 1540 he joined the circle of the influential Spanish religious writer Juan de Valdés (Valdés, Juan de), whose distinctive Christianity was a nonsacramental, undogmatic religion that stressed the immediacy of Inner Light (i.e., a divine presence to enlighten and guide the soul) yet was taught and practiced within the context of Roman Catholicism. This doctrine annoyed the Roman inquisitors. Worsening his position, Carnesecchi accepted Martin Luther's doctrine of justification by faith, though repudiating any schismatic policy.

      When a movement of suppression began in 1546, Carnesecchi fled to Paris to Catherine de Médicis, queen consort of France from 1547. Refusing to appear in Rome under command of Pope Paul IV, he was condemned in 1558. He was absolved, after Paul's death, and in 1559 returned to Rome. Under Pope Pius V, however, the Inquisition renewed its activities in 1566. Carnesecchi went to Florence, only to be betrayed by his patron, Cosimo I de' Medici. He was beheaded and burned.
