- Where
- Conclave at San Giorgio Monastery, Venice
- Part of
- Papal Conclave of 1799–1800
The assembled cardinals remained deadlocked between Bellisomi and Mattei from the conclave's opening until March 1800.
From the conclave's start on 30 November 1799, the cardinals could not overcome a stalemate between Bellisomi and Mattei; the impasse persisted until March 1800. Meanwhile, Cardinal Herzan, the Imperial plenipotentiary, had by 28 December 1799 not yet presented his credentials to the College of Cardinals and thus held no special status.
