Francesco Nerli, iuniore (1645–1720) was a Roman Catholic cardinal.
Biography
He was born in Sarzana on September 10, 1645, the son of Niccolò, count of Villanova, and Giulia Petriccioli. The family was of noble origins: his cousin was Monsignor Agostino Favoriti, secretary of Latin Letters, whom he later succeeded. Pope Innocent XI made him "secret chamberlain of honor" and canon of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major.
On 12 Mar 1690, he was consecrated bishop by Francesco Nerli (iuniore), Cardinal-Priest of San Matteo in Merulana.[1][2]
Pope Clement XI elevated him to the rank of cardinal in the consistory of May 17, 1706. In honor of the two popes who had helped him, he had two monuments erected in the Chapel of the Crucifix in Sarzana, his hometown.
His great-grandsons were later Cardinal Filippo Casoni, in 1801, and Cardinal Luigi Vannicelli Casoni, in 1839.
