Life
Early career - from prefect to general of finances (1713-24)
Embassy to Rome and concordat with Benedict XIII (1724-30)
He was repeatedly sent to the court of pope Benedict XIII and gained the pope's recognition of Vittorio Amedeo II as King of Sardinia as well as concluding a concordat with the papacy in 1727, thus normalising Sardinia's relations with the papal states, which had been strained for the previous thirty years.
