 The Inquisition in Aquileia started a preliminary investigation but the case was closed for lack of evidence.After the investigation, Mainiero had more troubles with his colleagues in the Chapter of Udine and, after applying for a position at the Patriarchal Basilica of Aquileia, he quit partially the job in Udine, motivating his decision with "impellent although honest reasons".He was accepted at Aquileia and moved there, living in the quiet and isolated Patriarchate.
