Augusto Bertazzoni (10 January 1876 - 30 August 1972) was an Italian Roman Catholic prelate who served as the Bishop of Potenza from 1930 until his retirement in 1966.[1] He was titled later in his career as an archbishop despite running a normal diocese as opposed to archdiocese; upon his resignation he was given a ceremonial position which he occupied until his death.
The process for his beatification commenced on 8 June 1995 and he was titled as a Servant of God as a result.[1] Pope Francis titled him as Venerable on 2 October 2019.
