Angelo Fantoni

Angelo Fantoni

Father Angelo Fantoni (May 2, 1903 - August 28, 1992) was an Italian priest and exorcist who worked at Monte San Savino near Arezzo, Italy.

He was born in Italy on May 2, 1903 to Pietro Annunziata (Cipriani) Fantoni. He entered college at the age of seventeen in 1920 and was ordained a priest on March 18, 1930.

Father Fantoni became a noted Faith healer in his day but this ended up causing problems in Arezzo when the medical doctors collectively denounced him as a fraud because he healed without using medicine. Father Fantoni was to be imprisoned for a year and pay a 300,000 lire fine. However, when the vedict was appealled he was acquitted. The story is told in a 1999 book entitled "Thanks, don Angelo!" by Franco Predieri.

His life and experiences as an exorcist are recorded in the book "Don Angelo Fantoni: Testimonianze" by Rita Buonomo.

Father Angelo Fantoni died in 1992. He is mentioned in Father Gabriele Amorth's book "An Exorcist: More Stories".
