Pope Urban VII (Latin: Urbanus VII; 4 August 1521 – 27 September 1590), born Giovanni Battista Castagna, was an Italian priest of the Roman Catholic Church and the 229th Pope. He ruled for thirteen days in September 1590,[1] and died before his consecration, from malaria. This makes him the shortest reigning Pope in the history of the Catholic Church.
