Born on November 25,1881 at Sotto Il Monte,a little villageabout forty miles east of Milan,in the diocese of Bergamo,he wasthe third of thirteen children.The son of humble farm parents,John Baptist and Marianna,he expressed his intention to study forthe priesthood.He began his seminary studies at eleven,and onAugust 10,1904,at the early age of 23 he was ordained. One of his first assignments(1905-1914)was as personal secretaryof one of the greatest prelates of his time,Giacomo Count Radini-Tedeschi,Bishop of Bergamo.In this position he began what in hisday were considered quite daring innovations,such as the publicationof parish and news bulletins.As the Bishop's secretary he also becameacquainted with some of Italy's leading prelates and organizers ofthe fledgling Catholic Action Movement.He threw himself whole-heartedly into parish work and always prided himself as pastor.Inhis homily,prior to coronation,he drew attention in a very specialmanner to “Our Task as Shepherd of the entire flock.” During World War I he served as sergeant in the Medical Corpsand later as Chaplain in military hospitals.After the war he continuedhis vigorous role in Catholic Action. In addition to being professor of Church History,Apologeticsand Patrology at his Alma Mater,the Episcopal Seminary at Bergamohe also began to write a History of Bergamo,now in its sixth volume.While doing historical research at Milan's Ambrosian Library hebecame acquainted with its librarian,Monsignor Achille Ratti,whobecame Pope Piux XI in 1922. But it was his pastoral work in the field of Catholic Action whichattracted the attention of Pope Benedict XV.He called him to Rometo reorganize the Church's missionary activity in the Sacred Con-gregation for the Propagation of the Faith,made him a Monsignor,Honorary Canon of Bergamo,and Domestic Prelate. —1 In 1925 Pope Pius XI named the now 43-year-old prelate TitularArchbishop of Areopolis,and appointed him Apostolic Visitor toBulgaria.This marked the beginning of a most successful diplomaticcareer lasting almost thirty years,and taking him first from Istanbulto Paris.In the year 1935 he was promoted to the office of ApostolicVicar and Delegate to Turkey,as well as Ap
