Biography
Santorio was born in Caserta. He served as Archbishop of Santa Severina from 1566 until his death.
On 12 March 1566, Santorio was consecrated bishop by Scipione Rebiba with Annibale Caracciolo, Bishop of Isola, and Giacomo de' Giacomelli, Bishop Emeritus of Belcastro, serving as co-consecrators. Santorio was made Cardinal on 17 May 1570, and installed as the Cardinal-Priest of S. Bartolomeo all'Isola the same year, and subsequently became Cardinal-Priest of S. Maria in Trastevere in 1595 and finally in 1597 Cardinal-Bishop of Palestrina. Through his own episcopal consecration of Girolamo Bernerio, Cardinal Santorio figures in the episcopal lineage of Pope Francis, Pope Benedict XVI, and most modern bishops.
