Talk:Giovanni Visconti (archbishop of Milan)

Looking for help sorting out which Giovani Visconti that Leonardo Bruni was writing about for 1341
Leonardo Bruni wrote that in 1341, Giovanni Visconti led Pisan troops in a partial victory over Florentine troops, but he himself was captured by the Florentines and held for awhile in Pescia. I am trying to determine if this passage revers to another Giovanni Visconti other than the Archbishop, possibly Giovanni da Oleggio. Peaceray (talk) 19:06, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Archbishop or Cardinal
The title for the article is wrong. Giovanni Visconti was absolutely NOT a cardinal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.248.50.17 (talk) 21:08, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * After consideration, I agree. Antipope Nicholas V gave him the cardinal title, so according to the Roman Catholic Church, he would not have been an official cardinal. Of the ten other articles about him in other language Wikipedias,de:Giovanni Visconti (Erzbischof), it:Giovanni Visconti (arcivescovo), pl:Giovanni Visconti (arcybiskup), & ru:Висконти, Джованни (архиепископ) have their word for "(archbishop)" in their title. I propose that we rename the article to Giovanni Visconti (archbishop). Peaceray (talk) 02:40, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Black Death
I didn't see reference to his efforts to basically prevent, successfully, the black death in Milan. Reference:
