GRANELLO, TOMMASO MARIA. - Dominican theologian, b. in Bologna on 22 Aug. 1840, d. in Rome on 24 March 1911.

Having received the Dominican habit in Rome (20 Oct. 1860), because of the political events of 1866 he had to take refuge in France. Having returned to Italy, he taught in Florence, Bologna and Ferrara (1876), where he was master of novices. He founded and directed for several years (1884-95) the journal Il Rosario. Memorie domenicane. He was an associate of the commissioner of the Holy Office (1885-96), then commissioner himself (1897) and titular archbishop of Seleucia (1897). Of his many books, the following are remembered: Vita di s. Domenico (Ferrara 1876); S. Pio V (2 vols., Bologna 1877-78); Alcune pagine sulla vita di s. Caterina da Siena (Ferrara 1880); Meditazioni su alcune virtù di s. Caterina da Siena (ibid. 1880).
