Biography

On 10 Jun 1573, Galeazzo Moroni was appointed during the papacy of Pope Gregory XIII as Bishop of Macerata and Bishop of Recanati.[4] In 1573, he was consecrated bishop by Charles Borromeo, Archbishop of Milan. On 10 Dec 1586, his title was changed to Bishop of Macerata e Tolentino after the diocese was merged with the Diocese of Tolentino. He resigned as Bishop of Recanati on 9 Feb 1592. He served as Bishop of Macerata e Tolentino until his death on 1 Sep 1613.

While bishop, he was the principal co-consecrator of Giovanni Antonio Onorati, Bishop of Terni (1591); and Settimio Borsari, Bishop of Alessano (1591).[4]
