Agostino Trivulzio[1] (c. 1485–1548) was an Italian Cardinal and papal legate. He was from a noble family in Milan, the eighth child of Giovanni Trivulzio di Borgomanero, a Councillor of the Dukes of Milan, and Angela[2] (or Agnolina, or Anna) Martinengo of Brescia, and was the nephew of Cardinal Gianantonio (or Antonio) Trivulzio (1500–1508).[3] Another uncle, Cardinal Antonio's brother Teodoro, was Governor of La Palice, of Genoa (from 1526), of Milan, and a Marshal of France.[4] Giovanni and Angela had a daughter named Damigella or Domtilla who was famous for her learning.[5] Cardinal Agostino Trivulzio had a nephew named Giovanni, who married Laura Gonzaga.
