Ugo Camozzo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ugo Camozzo (28 November 1892 – 7 July 1977) was an Italian prelate who served as the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Fiume from 1938 to 1947 and Archbishop of Pisa from 1948 to 1970. He was ordained in 1914 and worked for the Patriarchate of Venice until 1938, the year in which he was consecrated at Fiume, at that time part of Italy, and renamed Rijeka as part of Croatia. After World War II, Yugoslavia gained control over the city of Rijeka, and like many of the Italians living there, Archbishop Camozzo was forced into exile in 1947. The following year Pope Pius XII named him Archbishop of Pisa. He resigned on 22 September 1970 and died, aged 84, on 7 July 1977. He was the last Italian Archbishop of Fiume.
