Lodovico Altieri (17 July 1805 – 11 August 1867) was an Italian cardinal and he served as the Camerlengo of the Roman Catholic Church. He belonged to the Altieri family which was one of the noble families of Rome and was a descendant of Pope Clement X.
His cause of sainthood has commenced and he has been accorded the title Servant of God in order to initiate the formal process.
Lodovico Altieri was born in 1805 as the son of Paluzzo Altieri and Maria Anna di Sassonia in Rome. He was ordained to the priesthood on 24 March 1833.
He was created a Privy chamberlain by Pope Leo XII. In the pontificate of Pope Gregory XVI he was named qualificator of the Congregation of the Holy Office while he served as vicar of the School of Santa Maria in Via Lata. During this time he also served as Secretary of the Congregation of Studies.
He was appointed titular archbishop of Ephesus on 11 July 1836 by Pope Gregory XVI and was consecrated on 17 July of that year by Pope Gregory XVI himself. He was also appointed as the Nuncio to Austria the next day.
Altieri was created a cardinal and was reserved in pectore on 14 December 1840. His name was announced on 21 April 1845 and he was made the Cardinal-Priest of Santa Maria in Campitelli (the diaconate was elevated pro hac vice to title). He participated in the conclave of 1846 that elected Pope Pius IX. He was a member of the triumvirate that governed Rome between July 1849 and April 1850 after the short-lived Roman Republic.
