Pietro Accolti (15 March 1455 - 11 December 1532), known as the "cardinal of Ancona", was the son of Benedetto Accolti.
He was born in Florence, and died at Rome (Ciaconi, Vitae Pontificum, 1677, iii. 295). He was made bishop of Ancona, 1505, and cardinal on the 10 March 1511, by Pope Julius II.
He was abbreviator under Pope Leo X, and in that capacity drew up in 1520 the bull against Martin Luther (L. Cardella, Memorie Storiche de' Cardinali, 1793, iii. 450). He held successively the suburban sees of Albano and Sabina, also the sees of Cadiz, Maillezais, Arras and Cremona, and was made archbishop of Ravenna in 1524, by Pope Clement VII.
