Bellarmino Bagatti

Bellarmino Camillo Bagatti (November 11, 1905 - October 7, 1990) was a 20th-century Italian archaeologist and Catholic priest of the Franciscan Order.

Among his writings are:

Bagatti discovered that the town now known as Nazareth was no more than a small hamlet in the 1st century. John Dominic Crossan remarks that looking at the plans drawn up by Bagatti ... one realizes just how small the village actually was.

His thesis of the Church of Zion, Jerusalem (1976) gained the support of Emmanuel Testa but is not generally accepted by the majority of archeologists.
