Giuseppe Carraro (26 June 1899 – 30 December 1980) was an Italian Roman Catholic prelate who served as the Bishop of Verona from 1958 until his retirement in 1978.[1] He also served as the Bishop of Vittorio Veneto until his transferral to the see of Verona.[2]

Carraro has been implicated in the sexual abuse scandal perpetrated against deaf-mute students of the Provolo Institute.[3] There have been a string of allegations against the late Carraro himself that prompted the cause for his beatification to be suspended around 2010 pending the results of the investigation. The cause resumed in 2012 after an investigation cleared Carraro of all charges despite discrepancies remaining over the late bishop's actions.[2]

He was considered a man of holiness and this allowed for his cause of beatification to be introduced in 2005 at which stage he was referred to as a Servant of God. He now has the posthumous title of Venerable after Pope Francis - in 2015 - confirmed his heroic virtue.[1]
