Antonio Felice Zondadari, also known as Anton Felice Chigi Zondadari (14 January 1740 – 13 April 1823) was an Italian prelate of the Catholic Church.
He is not to be confused with his uncle, also a cardinal, Antonio Felice Zondadari the elder (1665–1737).
Biography
Anton Felice Chigi Zondadari was born in Siena on 14 January 1742. He was ordained a priest on 16 March 1782. On 19 December 1785 he was appointed titular archbishop of Adana. He received his episcopal consecration on 19 December from Cardinal Francesco Saverio de Zelada.
In 1786 he was appointed Apostolic Nuncio in Brussels or perhaps more precisely the ecclesiastical superior of the Mission sui iuris of Batavia, with responsibility for the Austrian Netherlands.
He was expelled on the orders of Emperor Joseph II the following year, as he was suspected of supporting the Brabant Revolution.[1]
Zondadari was among the few of his peers (14 in all) admitted by Napoleon to his wedding ceremony with Marie Louise of Austria in the Louvre on 2 April 1810.[1]
Zondadari died suddenly in Siena on 13 April 1823 and his body was entombed in the Cathedral of Siena.
