During his career, he participated in three papal conclaves.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church )〕 Spinola studied law as a young man, receiving doctorates in both civil and canon law. At an unknown date he entered Church service. In 1648 he was appointed as archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Acerenza and Matera, while still a deacon. He became the Archbishop of Genoa in 1664.
