Biography

Early years and priesthood

Zenobbi was born in Rome on 10 November 1969. He completed his studies for the priesthood at the Pontifical Roman Major Seminary and was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Rome on 28 April 1996 by Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Basilica.

Following his ordination, he served in various pastoral and administrative capacities within the Vicariate of Rome. He was a parish vicar since 1996 until 2008 and a parish priest since 2008 until 2017 of San Policarpo. Since 2017, he was a parish priest of Santa Lucia a Piazza d'Armi and, since 2025, episcopal vicar for the Western Sector of Rome.

Episcopate

On 25 February 2026, Pope Leo XIV appointed him as an Auxiliary Bishop of Rome, assigning him the titular see of Biccari.

Simultaneously with his appointment, the Pope issued a special pontifical decree reorganizing the internal territorial boundaries and management of the sectors of the Diocese of Rome. Under this new structural configuration, Zenobbi was formally assigned pastoral responsibility over the Eastern Sector (Settore Est) of the diocese.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 10, 2026.

The first chronological checks are 1969, 2026, 1996 and 2008.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
