Live and act
Carlo Liviero was born in Vicenza, the oldest of four children. On December 22, 1888, he received the sacrament of ordination . From 1889 he carried out pastoral activities in Gallio in the province of Vicenza. Even as a young man he showed the pastoral zeal that was characteristic of his later life. In 1899 he became archpriest in Agna , a small town in the province of Padua, which was exploited by landowners and thus affected by great poverty. He took on the problems and was also able to renew the Christian life of the residents.
Pope Pius X appointed Liviero bishop of Città di Castello in January 1910 after Giustino Sanchini had refused the appointment the year before. He was ordained episcopate on March 6th of the same year by Luigi Pellizzo , Bishop of Padua . Co- consecrators were Andrea Caron , Bishop of Ceneda , and the later Cardinal Tommaso Pio Boggiani , then Bishop of Adria . Bishop Liviero continued his pastoral work, paying particular attention to the young Catholics, in whom he saw the future of the Church.

He transferred the management of the Society of Maidens of the Sacred Heart, which he founded in 1915 . In 1927 he held a Eucharistic Congress on the 200th anniversary of the death of St. Veronica Giuliani and in 1928 a Synod to transfer his pastoral renewals to other dioceses. Five years later he was seriously injured in a car accident on the way to Pesaro. He died from his injuries in Santa Croce Hospital in Fano.
