Born in Crema on 8 June 1965,[3] he attended the Maria Santissima Bambina Institute in Lodi. From 1983 to 1990 he studied philosophy and theology in the joint seminary of Crema and Lodi, an affiliate of the Theological Faculty of Northern Italy.[4]

On 23 June 1990 he was ordained a priest for the diocese of Lodi.[3] He obtained his licentiate in 1994 and his doctorate in theology in 1996 at the Pontifical Gregorian University with a thesis entitled "The uniqueness of Jesus as a criterion of unity and difference in the Church" under the direction of Ángel Antón.[4]

He became professor of ecclesiology and Christology at the United Theological Studies of the seminaries of Crema and Lodi in September 1996. From 2013 to 2014 he was visiting professor at the Pontifical Gregorian University. In addition to his academic activity, Pagazzi was responsible for the training of permanent deacons in the diocese of Lodi from November 2009 to September 2023.

In October 2019, he became professor of theology at the John Paul II Pontifical Theological Institute for Marriage and Family Sciences.[5] There he helped organize an art exhibit devoted to the work of the Brazilian Franciscan Sidival Fila.[1][6] He has directed the Gaudium et Spes program and taught a course that viewed literature, music, art, and cinema as expressions of family dynamics.[1]

He has been a consultor of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith since October 2021.[7]

titular archbishop of Belcastro.[10] His episcopal consecration is scheduled for 10 February 2024 in Lodi.[11]

His theological writings include works in a popular vein as well. In The Cooking of the Risen One (2014), he explores Jesus' use of food in parables and his relationships, as well as his knowledge of food preparation. Pagazzi wrote: "A careful reading of the Gospel shows us not only Jesus' liking for conviviality, but also his excellent knowledge of and production and preparation of food. He knew even the precise dose of yeast to be added to flour in making bread." (Matthew 13:33)[12] In In pace e mi corico: il sonno e la fede (In peace and my bed: sleep and faith), he considers how the Scripture considers "sleep, insomnia, drowsiness and laziness, to the night, to dreams", and considers the faith that allows for restful sleep.[13]
