Life

Albertini, who came from Croatia , was accepted into the Dominican order at the age of thirteen . He studied philosophy , theology and rhetoric in Venice . His dissertation , which was particularly praised by the University of Padua , speaks of the fact that humans are no longer the way they should be, created by God's hand. Albertini later worked as a pulpit speaker . As this he made a name for himself. From Pope Pius VI. Albertini was called to Rome to resolve the dispute as to whether Armenian Catholics who were subordinate to the Sultan were allowed to hold services in the churches of the schismatics in order to avoid persecution. Albertini replied in the negative.

In 1789 he was appointed by the Pope as a dogmatics teacher at the Collegium of Propaganda in Rome. He later taught as a professor at the University of Venice . In 1807 this chair was dissolved, so that he moved back to his hometown. There he spent the last years of his life in old age, when he was still valued by the population. On April 29, 1810 he finally died at the age of 78. Shortly before his death, he had burned all of his sermons.
