Cerebotani studied theology in Rome , was ordained a priest in Verona in 1869 and received his doctorate in philosophy and theology in 1870. In 1873 he came to Munich as secretary to Cardinal Gustav Adolf zu Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst . From 1883 he taught for five years as a professor at the seminary in Verona. In 1889 he returned to Munich as an apostolic delegate (papal envoy) , meanwhile having become a prelate . Munich now became his second home. Here he also became a member of the cathedral chapter and had time to devote himself scientifically to physics. He made over 50, for the most part important and patented inventions, especially in the telegraph and telephone system (teleprinter, walkie-talkie) and for geodesy .
Since 1907 Cerebotani was an honorary member of the Academic Görresverein (later KStV Südmark) in the KV , in which he gave various lectures and with which he remained closely connected until his death.
The main work of Cerebotani Science and Mysticism appeared in 1922.
