Nesti retired from this final position on 10 July 2006.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Piergiorgio Nesti” is roman Catholic archbishop (1931–2009). The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Piergiorgio, Nesti and Roman, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “roman Catholic archbishop (1931–2009)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q433296. VIAF identifies the subject as 165834842. The Library of Congress control number is n83149513. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1931, 2009, 1959 and 1993.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. 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.
