Francesco Fauli (17 September 1817 – 30 January 1876), known as Anselmo Fauli, was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Grosseto (1867–1876).
Biography
[edit]Born Francesco Fauli in Santa Lucia, a village near Prato, in 1817, he was ordained a priest in the Diocese of Prato as part of the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel. On 22 February 1867, Pope Pius IX appointed him Bishop of Grosseto during a secret consistory, filling a vacancy that had lasted since 1858 due to the death of Bishop Giovanni Domenico Mensini and the political upheavals of the Italian Risorgimento.[1] Fauli was officially consecrated bishop on 24 March 1867, in Rome by Cardinal Niccola Paracciani Clarelli and formally took office in the diocese on August 10 of that year.[2][3]
He participated in the First Vatican Council convened by Pope Pius IX in 1869 and was present in Rome during the historic breach of Porta Pia by Italian troops on 20 September 1870.[1][3]
On 28 January 1876, after falling ill with a high fever, he decided to visit his family. However, shortly after arriving at the Florence station, he died in the village of Capalle, Campi Bisenzio, assisted by his brother Lorenzo.[2][1][3]
