A papal conclave was held from 30 November 1799 to 14 March 1800 to elect a new pope to succeed Pius VI, who had died on 29 August. On the final ballot, the conclave elected Cardinal Barnaba Chiaramonti, the bishop of Imola. After accepting his election, he took the name Pius VII. This conclave was held in Venice and was the last to take place outside Rome. This period was marked by uncertainty for the Catholic Church and the papacy following the invasion of the Papal States and the abduction of Pius VI under the French Directory.
