Giovanni Battista Altieri was born 20 June 1589 in Rome, the son of Lorenzo Altieri and wife (1586) Vittoria Delfin, a noble Venetian lady, sister of Flaminio Delfin, commander general of the Papal Army, and of Gentile Delfin, Bishop of Camerino. The Altieri family belonged to the ancient Roman Papal nobility and had enjoyed the highest consideration at Rome for several centuries; they had occasionally contracted alliances with the Colonnas and the Orsinis. During earlier pontificates, the Altieri held many important offices and had been entrusted with several delicate missions. Altieri was the older brother of Emilio Bonaventura Altieri who was elected to the papal throne as Pope Clement X in 1670.
Altieri died on 26 November 1654 at Narni while travelling to Rome. News of his death reached Rome two days later. He was buried at the Altieri family chapel in the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.
