Vincenzo Fagiolo was born at Segni in 1918. His recorded nationality is Italy. He was educated at Pontifical Lateran University and Pontifical Roman Seminary.
By occupation Vincenzo Fagiolo was catholic priest and catholic bishop - which is the point worth holding onto: the rescuers were not a special class of person.
The people honoured as Righteous Among the Nations were overwhelmingly ordinary; what distinguished them was that they acted while their neighbours did not.
