LONGHIN, ANDREA GIACINTO. - Bishop, b. at Campodarsego on 22 Nov. 1853, d. at Treviso on 26 June 1936. Having entered the Capuchins in 1879, in 1902 he was made provincial minister. Elected bishop of Treviso (1904), he gave a vigorous impulse there to Catholic Action, sure direction to social works, and he particularly attended, by example and doctrine, to the formation of the clergy.

During the German invasion of 1917, which devastated part of the diocese, he gave proof of great courage; after the war he devoted himself zealously to repairing its ruins. In 1923 he was named apostolic administrator of Padua and in 1927 of Udine. A man of broad juridical and theological culture, in 1911 he held a diocesan synod, and, besides various learned pastoral letters and a few pamphlets, he published: De resurrectione mortuarum (Rome 1904), Il sacerdote alla scuola di Nazareth (Vedelago 1920), I grandi misteri cristiani (Padua 1945, posthumous ed.).
