editAntonio Trivulzio was born in Milan ca. 1514, the son of Gerolamo Teodoro Trviulzio and Antonia da Barbiano.[1] He was the nephew of Cardinal Scaramuccia Trivulzio and the cousin of Cardinal Agostino Trivulzio.[1]
He studied law in Milan.[1] On 7 June 1535 he was elected to be Bishop of Toulon.[1] He traveled to Rome where he became a referendary of the Apostolic Signatura and domestic prelate of His Holiness ca. 1539.[1] From 1544 to 1547 he served as vice-legate in Avignon.[1] He opposed allowing Protestants to settle in Comtat Venaissin and supported the King of France's expulsion of Protestants from Cabrières-d'Avignon and Mérindol.[1] He was vice-legate in Perugia from 1549 to June 1550.[1] On 25 April 1550 he was made nuncio for the Kingdom of France.[1]
Pope Paul IV made him a cardinal priest in the consistory of 15 March 1557.[1][2] On 18 May 1557 he was named legate a latere to the Republic of Venice.[1] He was given the red hat and the titular church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo on 11 October 1557.[1] On 20 September 1557 he was named legate a latere to the Kingdom of France in order to negotiate peace between Henry II of France and Philip II of Spain; this mission ended successfully with the signing of the Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis.[1]
He died of an apoplexy at the Castle of Saint Martin near Paris on 25 June 1559.[1] He was buried in the chapel of the castle.[1]
