Pietro La Fontaine (29 November 1860 – 9 July 1935) was an Italian Roman Catholic cardinal who served as the Patriarch of Venice from 1915 until his death.[1] He was also a member of the Roman Curia and held several other positions prior to his elevation to the cardinalate and patriarchate. La Fontaine remained a simple pastor at heart and was known for his gentleness and his welcoming nature as both a bishop and patriarch. He was supportive of some aspects of fascism but came to oppose it when he saw it was becoming a totalitarian regime.[2][3] La Fontaine was viewed as "papabile" in the 1922 papal conclave that elected Pope Pius XI and was a serious contender for the papal see, having garnered a great deal of votes until Cardinal Ratti's selection on the fourteenth ballot.[4]
His cause of canonization commenced over three decades after his death and he has been titled as a Servant of God.[1]
