  Federico Borromeo
He was the son of Giulio Cesare Borromeo and Margherita Trivulzio, members of the Milanese aristocracy.
If Cardinal Borromeo shared the current excessive credulity in witchcraft and magic, he was in every other way far in advance of his time as a friend of the people and a promoter of intellectual culture and social refinement based on a practical religious life.
Federigo Borromeo (Milan, 1870); Von Reumont in Kirchenler., II, sqq.; BouQuillon in Catholic University Bulletin (Washington, 1895), I, 566-572.

 Plague Annointers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
When the plague broke out in Milan in 1630, the city's archbishop and spiritual leader was Cardinal Federico Borromeo, the nephew of the famous Saint Charles Borromeo, who was Archbishop of Milan from 1562 until his deathin 1584.
Although Borromeo was on the whole skeptical of the more outlandish reports of untori, he thought some of the accounts were credible, including stories that certain anointers wiped prayer books with unquents in order to spread the disease among the clergy.
Borromeo was heroized for his reputed affection for the people of Milan during plague, as in this painting by Luigi Pellegrino Scaramuccia done in 1680.

On the other hand, petitioner Federico O. Borromeo disclaimed any participation in the execution of the Deed of Assignment, theorizing that his supposed signature thereon was forged.
On the other hand, the Court is of the opinion that the questioned signature is the real signature of Federico O. Borromeo between the years 1954 to 1957 but definitely is not his signature in 1974 for by then he has changed his signature.
In the present case, the trial court found that the signature in question is the genuine signature of Federico O. Borromeo between the years 1954 to 1957 although the words in the blank space of the document in question were written on a much later date.

 Accademia di San Luca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Counter-Reformation began with the Council of Trent - actually not one council but a whole series between 1545 and 1563 - which addressed reform of the Church in all its aspects, including art.
In 1565 Cardinal (subsequently Saint) Charles Borromeo forbade the painting of popular subjects without official approval, and instructed bishops to in turn instruct artists on correct procedures.
Under the direction of Paelotti and the learned Cardinal Federico Borromeo - nephew of Saint Charles, but a genuine art-lover - the Academy in those initial years inevitably emphsised Christian doctrine and piety, and a conservative reverence for the heritage of late Mannerism as championed by its first president, the ultra-conservative artist Federico Zuccari.

 Saint Carlo Borromeo
Prassede, Papal Secretary of State under Pius IV, and one of the chief factors in the Catholic Counter-Reformation, was born in the Castle of Arona, a town on the southern shore of the Lago Maggiore in Northern Italy, 2 October, 1538; died at Milan, 3 November, 1584.
He is usually represented in art in his cardinal's robes, barefoot, carrying the cross as archbishop; a rope round his neck, one hand raised in blessing, thus recalling his work during the plague.
Charles conducted the negotiations with great energy and diplomatic skill, and as a consequence of the Peace of Cambrai (3 April, 1559) the castle was handed over to Count Francesco Borromeo, in the name of his nephew, Federigo Borromeo, to be held by him for the King of Spain.

Federico Borromeo founded the Ambrosiana in the early seventeenth century as part of his pastoral programme as Archbishop of Milan.
The Ambrosiana, which included a library, art academy, and art museum, was intended to reform sacred scholarship and art in response to the decrees of the Council of Trent.
His reform is interpreted on the basis of extensive documentation including works of art in the Ambrosian Museum and Library, acts of the Ambrosian Academy, hundreds of letters directed to Borromeo, and tracts that he wrote on art, devotional prayer, and sacred oratory and history.

It was noted that this Miller did file a suit against him, attaching his properties including those he did mortgage to the late Borromeo, there being no valid objection to such a step as the aforesaid mortgage, not being properly drawn up, could not be registered.
Mention was then made of the late Borromeo in his lifetime seeking the satisfaction of the sum due with Villamor unable to pay, but executing a document promising "to pay his indebtedness even after the lapse of ten years."
Nor could there be any legal objection to the complaint by the creditor Borromeo of January 7, 1953 embodying not merely the fixing of the period within which the debtor Villamor was to pay but likewise the collection of the amount that until then was not paid.

The Villa San Carlo Borromeo, surrounded by an age-old Park 12 km from Milan, lies upon a man-made hill, the site of a Celtic settlement in the VIIIth century B.C. The Romans subsequently built a stronghold, used by Julius Caesar, upon the same ground.
It was Federico Borromeo (1564-1631) who had one side knocked down in 1629.
Further work was carried out by Giberto Borromeo (1671-1740), who completed its interior decoration, adding furniture, chandeliers and beautiful works of art to what Federico had already put in place.

 Art Bulletin, The: 'Il Gran Cardinale': Alessandro Farnese, Patron of the Arts. - book reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Focusing on Alessandro and Federico as patrons of the arts, the important and complementary books by Pamela Jones and Clare Robertson allow us to discern how the reform protocols of Trent resonated in the ecclesiastical careers of these churchmen, motivating exemplary acts of religious patronage.
Since Borromeo's earliest acquisitions, landscapes by the Flemish masters Paulus Bril and Jan Brueghel the Elder, served both to incite and thematize meditative prayer, and also to exemplify the scope of God's powers as artificer, they were seen to be modes of religious imagery.
Implicit in their accounts are different notions of the ways in which patronage articulates with religious truth, justifying high ecclesiastical office and averring service to the church in Alessandro's case, affirming doctrine and structuring spirituality in Federico's.

He trained under Lorenzo Binago (1554–1629), and at the beginning of the 17th century he made his first trip to Rome, under the sponsorship of Cardinal Federico Borromeo, Archbishop of Milan.
Like his elder cousin, Carlo Borromeo, author of the principal Counter-Reformation tract on architecture Instructiones fabricae et suppellectilis ecclesiasticae (1572), the Cardinal favoured an austere response to the eccentricities of Mannerism.
Ricchini’s immediate predecessors and contemporaries in Milan were willing and able to satisfy this taste, but the young Ricchini, who returned to Milan in 1603, had clearly been impressed by the more progressive architectural developments in Rome.
