Life
Life
Cappello was born in Venice, the son of the diplomat Francesco Capello and his wife Elena Priuli. He held various political posts until being exiled to the island of Rab in 1540 for suggesting that the power of the Council of Ten should be limited. He escaped from Rab in 1541 and took refuge in Rome under the protection of cardinal Alessandro Farnese, whom he followed to Florence, France and Parma. He later became lieutenant of Tivoli before becoming governor of Orvieto, Todi, Assisi and Spoleto in rapid succession. He died in Rome.
