Giuseppe Carraro (Mira, Veneto, 26 June 1899 – Verona, 30 December 1980) was an Italian Roman Catholic bishop who was the Bishop Emeritus of Verona. He also served as the Bishop of Vittorio Veneto until his transferral to the see of Verona.
He was considered a man of holiness and this allowed for his cause of beatification. He now has the posthumous title of Venerable after Pope Francis - in 2015 - confirmed his heroic virtue.
Giuseppe Carraro was born in Mira on 26 June 1899 and was baptized with the names of Giovanni Giuseppe Moise. In 1910 Father Eugenio Dorigon suggested to his parents that he commence his studies for the priesthood. Despite the economic difficulties to ensure this he commenced his studies in Treviso in October 1910.
The outbreak of World War I led to his conscription on 17 June 1917 and he remained there until 13 April 1920. On 31 March 1923 Bishop Giacinto Longhin ordained him into the priesthood. He continued his studies in Padua and received a degree in natural sciences. He also met Elia Dalla Costa - future cardinal and Servant of God. From 1928 he taught various subjects that included humanities and mathematics.
He became rector in 1944 as the replacement of Vittorio Alessi and worked to ensure that seminarians grew from both a cultural and spiritual perspective. Pope Pius XII later appointed Carraro as the Titular Bishop of Usula and as the Auxiliary Bishop of Treviso. He received episcopal consecration on 1 November 1952. The co-consecrators included Girolamo Bortignon and Gioacchino Muccin.
