Born at Scavolino, he was from a family of the Roman nobility, connected with the Montefeltro family.[1]
He became bishop of Gubbio[2] in 1630, and cardinal in 1633.[3] He was bishop of Todi from 1638, resigning by 1643. He was Camerlengo for a year from 1648. Consecrated by Luigi Caetani, he became bishop of Albano in 1666, bishop of Frascati in 1671, and bishop of Porto and Santa-Rufina in 1675.[3] He died in Rome. Through his episcopal consecration of Paluzzo Paluzzi Altieri degli Albertoni, he is part of the episcopal lineage of Pope Francis. He is also connected to the lineage of Pope Benedict XVI.
Carpegna was a patron of Francesco Borromini and commissioned the Baroque architect important works of transformation and expansion of his palace at Fontana di Trevi. As a token of gratitude, Borromini named the prelate executor of his will and bequeathed him money and objects of considerable value "for", as he wrote, "the infinite debt I have toward him".[4]
