Pietro Moriconi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pietro Moriconi (died 1119) was the Archbishop of Pisa from 1105, succeeding Dagobert. According to tradition he belonged to the noble lineage of Moriconi of Vico. He first appears as archbishop in a document of 19 March 1106, and is credited with strengthening the Pisan church. He took part in the 1113–1115 Balearic Islands expedition, where he interfered to quash peace negotiations that ran counter to Pisa's interests.[1] He died in 1119 (Pisan calendar), and was buried on 10 September in the Pisan Duomo.
