Delio Lucarelli (24 November 1939 – 29 January 2024) was an Italian Roman Catholic prelate. He served as bishop of Rieti from 1997 to 2015.
Lucarelli was born in Fano, an episcopal seat in the province of Pesaro and Urbino, on 24 November 1939. He studied at the Pontifical Marche Regional Seminary "Pio XI" in Fano.[1] On 29 June 1965, Lucarelli was ordained a priest by Bishop Vincenzo Del Signore.[1] After ordination he carried out his pastoral work as parochial vicar in Lucrezia, where he remained from 1965 to 1967, and San Michele al Fiume, a hamlet of Mondavio, from 1967 to 1970. In that year he was appointed educator and animator at the regional seminary of Fano, where he then held the position of pro-rector and subsequently rector, from 1972 to 1988.[2] On 13 June 1978, he received the honorary title of Chaplain of His Holiness from Pope Paul VI.[3] In 1988, he was appointed general secretary for Italy of the Pontifical Society of Saint Peter the Apostle.[2]
