Johann Nepomuk von Tschiderer zu Gleifheim (15 April 1777 - 3 December 1860) was an Austrian-Italian Roman Catholic prelate and the Bishop of Trent from 1834 until his death. He was born to Austrians but was considered to be an Austro-Italian due to having been born in the Italian town of Bolzano.[1]
Pope John Paul II beatified him in Trento on 30 April 1995 before 100,000 people. The cause started in 1886 under Pope Leo XIII and Pope Paul VI titled him as Venerable in 1968.[2]
