His family, residing in the castle of San Salvatore in Susegana, was the most prestigious in the Treviso area, but for some time its noble privileges had been reduced by the government of the Serenissima.

Contrary to his relatives, such as his father and brothers Massimiliano II and Vincinguerra IV, Collalto reacted to these acts by refusing any military employment under the insignia of San Marco.
