Angelo Francesco Ramazzotti (3 August 1800 – 24 September 1861) was an Italian Roman Catholic who served as the Patriarch of Venice. He established the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions in 1850. Ramazzotti had served as the Bishop of Pavia prior to his relocation to Venice and died less than a week before Pope Pius IX could elevate him to the cardinalate.
He became well known across Venice for his love of the people and for his careful attention and consideration of the social and pastoral issues that faced the archdiocese. He brought to Venice his sense of calmness and resolve in tending to the social needs of the poor and to all people in general as a means of rekindling the Christian virtues in Venice.
His cause of beatification has commenced and he was bestowed with the title of Servant of God in 1976. Pope Francis recognized his life of heroic virtue and conferred upon him the title of Venerable on 14 December 2015.
Angelo Francesco Ramazzotti was born in Milan on 3 August 1800 as the second of two sons to Giuseppe Ramazzotti and Giulia Maderna. His elder brother was Filippo. He received confirmation in October 1806 and felt his religious vocation which awakened in him a desire to become part of the priesthood. He studied in Pavia where he obtained a doctorate in both canon law and civil law on 10 August 1823. He practiced law until 1826 when he went to become a priest.
He received the minor orders on 22 December 1826 and 21 December 1827. Ramazzotti later received the subdiaconate on 14 March 1829 and the diaconate on 4 April 1829. He was ordained to the priesthood on 13 June 1829. He became a member of the Oblate Missionaries of Rho after his ordination. He was elected as the order's superior-general three times.
