DONADONI, CARLO ANTONIO. - Theologian and orator of the Conventual Friars Minor, b. in Venice on 15 Aug. 1672, d. at Šibenik (Dalmatia) on 7 Jan. 1756. Received into the college of St. Bonaventure in Rome (8 May 1693), he completed there the advanced courses in theology, obtaining its academic degrees. He taught philosophy and theology in the Studium of Padua, where he was regent, and in other Studia of the Order. In 1721 he was elected provincial minister of his province of St. Anthony, and on 12 Apr. 1723 bishop of Šibenik in Dalmatia. He governed with the utmost diligence, edifying his flock by word and by deed.

Notable among his works are the Panegirici sacri (Venice 1707), the Morale di Aristotile a Nicomano (ibid. 1709), La Cruzia in esame (ibid. 1740). He also wrote against Muratori's work Della regolata devozione dei cristiani, attacking the proposal to reduce religious feasts.
