ANTONIO DI AVERARA (De Averaria). - Carmelite preacher, b. at Averara (Bergamo), d. at Ferrara in 1523.

Having entered the Carmelites of the congregation of Mantua, at Ferrara in 1473, he had as his teacher in his studies the blessed Battista Spagnoli. Having obtained a degree in theology, he was afterwards regent of studies, several times prior (Bergamo 1490, Brescia 1495, 1504, Milan 1509, Ferrara 1502), definitor, vicar general of the Mantuan congregation (1511, 1517). He distinguished himself in the pulpits; in the convents he maintained observance with zeal. He published De virtutibus, sermones quinquaginta (Milan 1509); his philosophical and ascetic treatises, and his carmina, remained unpublished.
