Biography

Antonio Nuzzi was born on 3 August 1926 in Bojano, a comune in the Province of Campobasso and the Italian region of Molise.[1]

Nuzzi was ordained a priest on 2 April 1949 and was incardinated in the Archdiocese of Conza-Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi-Bisaccia. Pope John Paul II appointed him Archbishop of Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi-Bisaccia and Bishop of Nusco on 21 February 1981. He was consecrated a bishop on 15 March of that year by Sebastiano Baggio, the Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, with Archbishop Pietro Santoro and Bishop Angelo Criscito as co-consecrators.[1]

After unification of the Diocese of Nusco with the Archdiocese of Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi-Conza-Bisaccia, Nuzzi was appointed the first Archbishop of Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi-Conza-Nusco-Bisaccia. On 31 December 1988, he was appointed Archbishop-Bishop of Teramo-Atri.[1]
