MARZAGAGLIA, GAETANO. - Priest, b. at Chiampo Vicentino on 8 August 1716, d. at Verona on 1 July 1787. For several years he taught geometry at the Royal Military College of Verona. Having then embraced the ecclesiastical career, he became rector of the Seminary of Verona and finally parish priest of S. Egidio.
He made known the work of Christian Wolff through the celebrated Ramanzini edition of Verona, which he illustrated with interesting and continuous annotations. He printed: a small collection of mathematical subjects and various opuscules on ascetical matters; but the most important work, in which the author shows himself a learned and sound theologian, is the Euchiridion mysticum pro directioribus animarum (Verona 1766), which may still be called a precious aid for the formation of able directors of souls.
