Della Torre was born in the territory of Modena,[5] and held a degree in the Arts, and was a Doctor of Medicine.[6] Because of his intellectual gifts he was a favorite of Pope Eugene IV.[7]

On 16 January 1439, Giacomo Antonio della Torre was appointed by Pope Eugene as Bishop of Reggio Emilia.[8][9][10] On 16 August 1439, he was consecrated bishop by Antonio Bernieri (bishop), Bishop of Lodi, with Delfino della Pergola, Bishop of Parma, and Pier-Simone Brunetti, Auxiliary Bishop of Parma serving as co-consecrators.[9]

On 19 October 1444, he was appointed Bishop of Modena by Pope Eugene.[11]

On 24 September 1463, he was transferred to the diocese of Parma by Pope Pius II, at the same time as the Bishop of Parma, Delfino della Pergola, was transferred to Modena.[12]

On 15 January 1476, Pope Sixtus IV transferred him to the diocese of Cremona.[1][9] He served as Bishop of Cremona until his death in 1486.[13]

While bishop, he was the principal co-consecrator of Giacomo de Suressi (Sulixio), Archbishop of Craina (1483).[9]
