Carlo Liviero was an Italian Catholic bishop who served the Diocese of Città di Castello during the early 20th century. Born in Vicenza in 1866, he was ordained a priest in 1888. He later succeeded Giustino Sanchini as bishop, receiving his episcopal consecration in 1910. Throughout his ministry, he focused on social welfare and education, eventually founding the Little Servants of the Sacred Heart. Following a car accident in Fano, he passed away in 1932.
Life and ministry
After his ordination, Liviero served in his birthplace and later in Città di Castello. As a bishop, he promoted literacy by establishing libraries and a school, and he also launched the magazine La Voce del popolo. His commitment to the vulnerable led him to found a hospice for abandoned children and orphans after the First World War. He died in 1932 in Fano and was later interred in the cathedral of Città di Castello.
Veneration
The process for his recognition began in 1976, leading Pope John Paul II to declare him Venerable in 2000. Following the approval of a miracle by Pope Benedict XVI, he was beatified on May 27, 2007. He is commemorated in the Catholic Church, with his feast day observed on May 30.
