Antonio Francesco Davide Ambrogio Rosmini-Serbati, IC (Italian pronunciation: [anˈtɔːnjo roˈzmiːni serˈbaːti]; 25 March 1797 – 1 July 1855) was an Italian Catholic priest and philosopher. He founded the Rosminians, officially the Institute of Charity, and pioneered the concept of social justice and Italian Liberal Catholicism.[1]
Alessandro Manzoni considered Rosmini the only contemporary Italian author worth reading.[2] Rosmini has been beatified in the Catholic Church.
