Pope Pius VI (27 December, 1717 – 29 August, 1799), born Count Giovanni Angelo Braschi , Pope from 1775 to 1799, was born at Cesena. The name of Pius VI is associated with many and often unpopular attempts to revive the splendour of Pope Leo X (1513–21) in the promotion of art and public works; the words Munificentia Pii VI. P. M. graven in all parts of the city, giving rise amongst his impoverished subjects to such satire as the insertion of a minute loaf in the hands of Pasquin with that inscription beneath it.
