He was made a priest on 29 May 1763 and on 11 September 1775 titular bishop of Tyana. On 20 September 1775 he became nuncio to Cologne. Before taking up the post, he was ordained a bishop on 24 September 1775 by Pope Pius VI.
Pope Pius VI died on 29 August 1799 at Valence in the custody of the French.[1] Due to the French occupation of Rome, the conclave that followed was held in Venice. Bellisomi, seemed a viable candidate (papabile), with some eighteen committed votes. However, he was unpopular with the Austrian faction, who preferred Cardinal Alessandro Mattei, the Archbishop of Ferrara, and therefore, could not obtain the canonically required two-thirds vote.[2]
On 18 September 1807 he opted for the titular church of Santa Prassede.
