Biography

[edit]

He was ordained priest on 1959. He was appointed bishop of Aosta on 30 December 1994. He was consecrated on 22 January 1995 by cardinal Giovanni Saldarini, replacing the previous bishop Ovidio Lari.

As bishop of Aosta he received in the diocese for the traditional summer holidays in Les Combes d'Introd, Gran Paradiso National Park, the popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI. On St Anselm's Day, 2006, he traveled to Canterbury Cathedral in England to dedicate the new altar in St Anselm's tomb at a ceremony attended by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the abbot of Bec.[1]

He resigned on 9 November 2011.
