Marcello of the Immaculate (Carlo Zucchetti)
Italian Discalced Carmelite priest, a confessor in Ferrara for thirty-six years
Who they were
Zucchetti heard confessions in Ferrara for thirty-six years and was widely sought out by priests and laypeople alike.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Santi e Beati lists him as a Servant of God and gives his death as 13 July 1984; the Hagiography Circle gives 22 July, and the Catholic source has been followed. The diocesan inquiry was opened at Ferrara-Comacchio in 2014.
The cause
The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.
Checked against the sources listed on 24 September 2026. Corrections welcome.
