He was born in Venice, the eldest son of Alvise Contarini, of the ancient noble House of Contarini, and his wife Polissena Malpiero.

In 1541 Cardinal Contarini was papal legate at the Conference of Regensburg, the diet and religious debate marking the culmination of attempts to restore religious unity in Germany by means of conferences.

Meanwhile the papal policy had changed, and Contarini was compelled to follow his leader.

When it was shown to the legate and Morone, the latter was for rejecting it summarily ; Contarini, after making a score of emendations, notably emphasizing in Article 14 the dogma of Transubstantiation, declared that now " as a private person " he could accept it ; but as legate he must consult with the Catholic theologians.

Evidence in some of his music also points to this: a motet by a certain " Franciscus " is dedicated to Andrea Contarini, who was Doge of Venice from 1368 to 1382 ; and in addition, his works are well represented in northern Italian sources.

It sailed around to Gavrion and tried to tempt Contarini out, but the wind was from the north ( possibly this should be south ), and Contarini had orders not to engage unless he had the weather gauge, and even after the Ottomans sent galliots in and landed troops all he did was send a small craft to drive them off.
