Enrico Scarampi
Italian bishop
Beato Enrico Scarampi (died 1440) was an Italian churchman from the prominent Scarampi family of the area of Asti, active at the time of the Western Schism.
Born to Oddone, or Oddonino Scarampi, signore of Cortemiglia, Enrico Scarampi appears in the historical record in 1396 as Bishop of Acqui. In 1406 he became Bishop of Feltre e Belluno. He participated in the Conclave of 1417 that elected Cardinal Oddone Colonna to the papacy. Colonna, as Pope Martin V, made him treasurer of the Camera Apostolica. He was one of the fourteen members of the reform committee of the Council of Constance (1414-1418), where he supported the principle of Papal supremacy over Councilarism, and was also the spiritual director of the beata Margherita di Savoia-Acaia.
Enrico Scarampi died in 1440.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Enrico Scarampi” as italian bishop. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as italian bishop. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5379592. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1440, 1396, 1406 and 1417.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. 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.
