FASSONI, LIBERATO OF SAN GIOVANNI BATTISTA. - Theologian of the Piarists, b. in Liguria in 1720, d. in Rome on 4 May 1775. Professor at Senigallia and at Rome, he was a member of the Academies of Cagliari and Turin.

Of his works in fine Latin, the following are remembered: De leibnitziam rationis sufficientis principio (in fol. Senigallia 1754, Buda 1767); De miraculis adversus B. Spinoam (Rome 1754); De Graeca sacrorum litterarum editione a LXX interpretibus (Urbino 1754; Rome 1758); De voce homonium (Rome 1755), in which he seeks to demonstrate that this word was not rejected by the Antiochene Fathers: De piorum in sima Abrahna beatitudine ante Christi mortem (ibid. 1760), against Cadonici (v.) who maintained that the Fathers of the Old Testament in Limbo enjoyed the beatific vision.
