Francesco Fasola

Francesco Fasola was an Italian Roman Catholic prelate who served as the Archbishop of Messina from 1963 until his retirement in 1977; he was also a professed member of the Oblati dei Santu Gaudenzio e Carlo. He served as a rector and parish priest after his ordination in Galliante before he was made a bishop in 1954 for the Agrigento diocese where he served as the coadjutor; he later was moved south to Caltagirone and then was made an archbishop. Fasola placed a particular emphasis during his episcopate on the renovation of ecclesial buildings and the ordination of new priests which was a sacrament he liked to bestow upon seminarians.
