Vincenzo Cozzi
Italian bishop of Melfi-Rapolla-Venosa
Who they were
Cozzi was bishop of Melfi-Rapolla-Venosa from 1981 to 2002 and his tomb in Melfi cathedral is a place of pilgrimage.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Diocese of Melfi-Rapolla-Venosa opened the diocesan inquiry into the beatification of its former bishop on 16 September 2023 in Melfi, ten years after his death, the edict having been published on 3 July 2023.
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.
