On June 27, 2023, rev. Antonio Pinzello, a priest of the Prelature of Opus Dei, who was born in Palermo in 1945 and was the first student to ever enroll at our university, then the Roman Academic Center of the Holy Cross, passed away.
In June 1985, he defended his doctoral thesis in theology entitled The Presence of Christ in the Eucharist in the Light of the Contemporary Magisterium.
From 1985 to 1988, he also served as Secretary General.
The Santa Croce academic community offers prayers of suffrage for his soul.
In the photo, rev. Pinzello is pictured standing during the inauguration of the 1988-89 academic year while presenting the progress report of previous academic activities.
