Mercurino Arborio, marchese di Gattinara (10 June 1465 – 5 June 1530), was an Italian statesman and jurist who served, from 1518 to 1530, as the principal chancellor of Charles V, the King of Spain and the Holy Roman Emperor. He was made cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church for San Giovanni a Porta Latina in 1529. He is held as the prior of the humanists who called for the restoration of a universal, Christian Roman Empire.[1][2]
