Br.Luigi Matignani, of Emiglia Romagna province, has rendered his services at the International College of Rome for 24 years as in charge of our Central library and Archives. He has been a professor at Gregorian University and worked in the Secretary of state.After a brief term of terminal illness he went to the eternal abode yesterday at 21.30 European time. While thanking God for his goodness shown to us through Br.Luigi, we pray that He may grant him his eternal reward.
I knew him since 1994 when i went to Rome for my higher studies. He was already working in the Vatican as well as working in Library at our college. He was a man of few words but always with a smile. If you would begin a conversation then he would just give in and talk for a long time with you. when i finished my licentiate and wrote my thesis, a copy of it had to be left in our International library for reference. He asked me to leave behind two copies, i was surprised and later he told me that he wanted to gift to someone since the theme was on Indian and Franciscan prayer.
May his soul rest in peace. He was a close confident of Pope Benedict XVI. He was the secretary of three Cardinals commission appointed for investigating VATILEAKS.. His contribution to the findings have brought about drastic changes in the Vatican administration
