Giori was born 11 May 1586 in Capodacqua, the son of Giovanni Francesco Giori and Polidora Polini. He began his studies at the Grammatica at Camerino and completed them at the Archgymnasium of Rome, where he studied literature, rhetoric, Greek, logic, physics and Latin and graduated in civil and criminal canon law.[1]
Allying himself with his uncle Cesareo Giori, Angelo entered the service of cardinal Maffeo Barberini, later to become Pope Urban VIII, as his secretary. Giori acted as pedante to the Pope's nephews - Taddeo, Francesco and Antonio Barberini - while they were still of school age.[2][3]
He continued in the service of the Barberini during the course of Pope Urban's reign and was a great fan of hunting - an activity the Barberini also undertook with enthusiasm.[2]
