CORTESE, TIBURZIO. - Bishop, b. in Modena in 1738, d. there on 30 Dec. 1823. Elected bishop of his city in 1786, he attended to the education of the clergy and of the young, reforming the entire organization of the local seminary. During the French invasion he also assumed the government of the neighboring diocese of Reggio, of the abbey of Nonantola, and of the territory of the Garfagnana. After the fall of the Kingdom of Italy and the installation of Duke Francis IV, he was close to the latter with counsel and with precious collaboration. In 1821, through the particular intercession of the same duke, Pius VII revoked the Concordat of 1809 between the Holy See and Napoleon, according to which the ancient abbey of Nonantola was to be abolished, and annexed it to the bishopric of Modena. Thus in 1822, upon the death of Bishop Francesco Maria d'Este, C. was named commendatory abbot of Nonantola. He reestablished the abbey, reactivated the seminary founded by St. Charles Borromeo, and, despite his now advanced age, visited the entire territory as far as Fanano.
