Carlo Agostini (22 April 1888 – 28 December 1952) was an Italian
cardinalate
in 1952.
Biography
Born in
Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) and a doctorate in theology at Pontifical Gregorian University in 1913. Agostini was a professor (1913–1925) and the rector (1925–1932) of the Treviso seminary, and was raised to the rank of privy chamberlain of his holiness
in 1925.
On 30 January 1932, he was appointed
apostolic administrator of Treviso from 8 March to 6 December 1936, and later named Patriarch of Venice
on 5 February 1949.
Pope Pius XII announced on 29 November 1952 that he would elevate Agostini and twenty-three others to the College of Cardinals. However, the patriarch died, from Parkinson's disease[1] at the age of 64, before the consistory could take place on 12 January 1953. Agostini was initially buried in S. Michele cemetery, but his remains were later transferred to the crypt of St Mark's Basilica in November 1957.
The unexpected vacancy in Venice opened the way for the elevation of Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, the future Pope John XXIII.
