Domenico Calcagno (born 3 February 1943) is the current president of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See since his appointment by Pope Benedict XVI on 7 July 2011. He had previously served as the secretary of the dicastery since 2007.
Calcagno was born in Tramontana (Archdiocese of Genoa, the province of Alessandria) in 1943. After studying arts at the diocesan seminary, he attended the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, earning a degree in dogmatic theology. He was ordained a priest on the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul 29 June 1967 by Cardinal Giuseppe Siri.
After several years of parish ministry, he was appointed as professor of Theology at the Theological Faculty of Northern Italy and, later, at the Higher Institute of Religious Studies of Liguria. He served as the president of the diocesan clergy institute and was the episcopal vicar for "new activities". At the national level he held positions that included: Secretary of the Italian Priests Commission, Inspector of the Italian Episcopal Conference for Institutes of Religious Sciences, Director of National Missionary Cooperation between Churches, and, most recently, the Treasurer of the Bishops Conference.
Pope John Paul II appointed him bishop of Savona-Noli on 25 January 2002. He was consecrated on 9 March. He served as Bishop of Savona until Pope Benedict appointed him Secretary of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See and archbishop ad personam on 7 July 2007.
