Carlo Perosi (December 18, 1868—February 22, 1930) was an Italian Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church who served as Secretary of the Sacred Consistorial Congregation from 1928 until his death, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1926.

Biography

Carlo Perosi was born in Tortona as one of twelve children, only six of whom survived infancy; he was the brother of Father Lorenzo Perosi and Marziano Perosi. He attended the seminary in Tortona, and was ordained to the priesthood on November 8, 1891. He then went to Rome, where he studied at the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Pontifical Lombard College, alongside Luigi Sincero and Mario Nasalli Rocca di Corneliano.

Upon returning to Tortona, Perosi undertook his pastoral ministry, also serving as a diocesan official and professor and vice-rector at its seminary. He became counselor adjunct for the Provincial Councils in Rome on September 21, 1904, and apostolic visitor to the seminaries of Sicily in 1907. He was raised to the rank of Domestic Prelate of His Holiness on May 15, 1907.

On October 20, 1908, Perosi entered the service of the Roman Curia as substitute of the Sacred Consistorial Congregation. He was later appointed regent of the Apostolic Penitentiary (December 7, 1911), canon of the Liberian Basilica (1915), assessor of the Holy Office (December 8, 1916), and canon of St. Peter's Basilica (March 6, 1917).

Elevated to the College of Cardinals before receiving his episcopal consecration, Perosi was created Cardinal Deacon of S. Eustachio by Pope Pius XI in the consistory of June 21, 1926. He was named Pro-Secretary of the Sacred Consistorial Congregation on February 10, 1928, rising to become full Secretary on the following November 1. As Secretary, Perosi was effectively the head of that dicastery, as the Pope held the nominal title of Prefect at that time.

The Cardinal died in Rome, at age 61, and was buried at the Campo di Verano cemetery.
