His brothers were employed in Cardinal Ottoboni's household staff.

His nieces entered the religious life.

In 1706 and again in 1711, when two of his nieces, Maria and Lucia Barbara, entered the convent of San Maglorio in Faenza, anthologies of celebratory sonnets were published in Rome and Ferrara in their honor.
