NATO Come Charles-Gaudence at Madruce [first] by Baron Giovanni Federico Madruzzo ( Jean-Frédéric de Madruce ) and from Isabella di Chaallant in the castle of Issogne in Valle d’Aosta, Carlo Gaudenzio was grandson of Cardinal Ludovico Madruzzo. After his superior studies, first in Ivrea and then in Trento, he attended the University in Ingolstadt (1577-1582), and in Pavia (1584-1586) where he obtained a degree in civil and canonical law.

For a long period he was hosted in Rome by the Cardinal Uncle to expand and perfect his training. Being Ludovico, owner of the episcopal principality of Trento, engaged in activity in the capital, Carlo Gaudenzio was appointed coadjutor bishop of Trento in 1595.

Upon the death of Uncle Ludovico in 1600, Carlo Gaudenzio became the owner of the diocese of Trento, thus becoming the third prince bishop of that sort of “ecclesiastical dynasty” represented by the powerful Madruzzo family. On June 9, 1604 he also obtained the title of Cardinal from Pope Clement VIII.

In his spiritual guidance activity of the Tridentine Church, Carlo Gaudenzio is committed in a wide operation of fighting to heresy and (often supposed) witchcraft in the Trentino valleys, in the creation of new churches and in the fulfillment of the provisions of the Council of Trento , while as a temporal prince he sought a stable balance with the emperor, establishing new rules relating to the defense and army of the Principality in the composite military picture of the Sacred Roman Germanic Empire.

In 1620 Carlo Guadenzio moved permanently to Rome, and he succeeded, just as his uncle Ludovico had done, to appoint the coadjutor of Trento the nephew Carlo Emanuele, who at his death (14 August 1629) succeeded him as a bishop.
