Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - I whānau a Ettore Baranzini i te 22 o Mahuru 1881 ki Angera, Itari. I ako ia i te Pontifical Lombard Seminary mai i te 1899 ki te 1902. I whiwhi ia i nga tohu i roto i te rapunga whakaaro mai i te Pontifical Academy o Saint Thomas Aquinas me te kaupapa atua me te ture ture i te Pontifical Gregorian University. I whakatapua ia hei tohunga o te Archdiocese o Milan i te 27 o Poutu-te-rangi 1904 ana i te Tihema ka tiimata te kaitiaki tekau ma rima tau ki a Alessandro Lualdi, te Pihopa hou o Palermo. I te 28 o Hurae 1920, i whakaingoatia ia hei Kaiwhakahaere o te Papa Lombard Seminary, tana alma mater, i whakahoutia e Pope Benedict XV hei whare motuhake. I tae atu ia ki te huihuinga o 1922
i kōwhiria ai a Pope Pius XI hei kaiāwhina ki a Lualdi.
