Mariano Rampolla del Tindaro was born on August 17, 1843 at Polizzi Generosa, Palermo, Sicily, Italy. He was the son of Ignazio Rampolla, Count of Tindaro and his wife, Orsola Errante.
Having completed his studies in the Capranica College at Rome, and having taken holy orders, he studied diplomacy at the College of Ecclesiastical Nobles, and in 1875 was appointed councillor to the papal nunciature at Madrid.
He was recalled to Rome and appointed secretary of the Propaganda for Eastern Affairs, and for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs. Consecrated titular archbishop of Heraclea in 1885, he returned to Madrid as nuncio, but was shortly afterwards created cardinal and appointed to the papal secretaryship of state. New to the Sacred College and free from traditional preconceptions, he was admirably fitted to carry out the papal policy under Leo XIII. Rightly or wrongly, he was held personally responsible for the rapprochement with France and Russia and the opposition to the Powers of the Triple Alliance; and this attitude had its effect on his career when Leo XIII died. Rampolla was undoubtedly the favourite among the papabili cardinals; but the veto of Austria was interposed, and the votes of the Sacred College fell to Cardinal Sarto, who on the 4th of August 1903 became pope as Pius X. Cardinal Rampolla at once resigned his office as secretary of state, being succeeded by Cardinal Merry del Val, and ceased to play any conspicuous part in the Curia.

Alive to the political and social realities of his age, especially the currents of republicanism and socialism, Cardinal Rampolla emphasized obligations of governments and employers to the working class.
