Biography
Modesto Gavazzi was ordained a priest in the Order of Friars Minor Conventual.[1][2] On 19 Feb 1657, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Alexander VII as Archbishop of Chieti.[1][2] He died soon after on 6 Mar 1657,[1][2] a claim which is contradicted by the grant of the pallium to him on 12 March 1657.[3]
Modesto Gavazzi was scholastic philosopher and a close friend and colleague of the better-known Scotists Bonaventura Belluto (1600–76) and Bartholomew Mastrius.[citation needed]
