Enrico Bartoletti (7 October 1916 – 5 March 1976) was an Italian Roman Catholic archbishop who served on the Italian Episcopal Conference and also as the Archbishop of Lucca. Bartoletti was renowned for his personal holiness and for his political tact which he delivered while serving on the Italian Episcopal Conference. Bartoletti also worked to defend the lives of the Jewish people during World War II and contributed to DELASEM.
His process for beatification commenced on 11 November 2007 in the Archdiocese of Lucca and was granted the title Servant of God - the first stage in the process - on 4 September 2007 when formal approval to the introduction of the cause was given.
Enrico Bartoletti was born on 7 October 1916 in Florence.
Bartoletti commenced his studies for the priesthood in Florence in 1937 and was later sent to Rome for his theological studies at the Almo Collegio Capranica there in 1934. It was there that he met Giulio Belvederi and the rector - and future cardinal - Augustin Bea. He also attended the Gregorian University for additional studies. Upon his return to Florence he received his ordination to the priesthood from Elia Dalla Costa in 1939; his return was short lived for he returned to Rome for further studies at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in sacred scripture.
Bartoletti was made the rector of the Minor Seminary in 1943 and served as a teacher of the Greek and Hebrew languages in addition to serving as a teacher of sacred scripture. During World War II he made his support of the Jewish people known and was quite vocal of the injustices against them during the Holocaust that Nazi Germany was perpetrating; due to this he collaborated with DELASEM and was even arrested on 8 December 1943 though released with strong threats and warnings. In 1955 he was made the rector of the Major Seminary.
