About 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 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 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 verdict was appealed he was acquitted.
- The story is told in the 1999 book 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. He is mentioned in Father Gabriele Amorth's book An Exorcist: More Stories.
