whose father was nothing more than q

about strangers for hire. TOrtOnia,
who was an active, intelligent young
man, at first entered into business in
small way as a jeWeler. In course of
time he became 4 sort of banker: and
an unexpected circumstance brought
him in contact with Cardinal Chiara-
monti. On the death of Pope Plus VI,
a conclave was to be held at Venice for
the election of new Pope. Chiara-
mOnti had expectations of being elect
ed to the vacant office, but he was un-
able to attend the conclave for the
want Of money. In this emergency he
was supplied with few hundred
crowns by Tortonia. The cardinal now
repaired to Venice, where, in the
Church of St. George, he was elected
Pope, under the title OF Plus VII. In
gratitude for this act of service the
sovereign pontif on his return to Rome
appointed TortOnia banker to the court.
