Biography
Early years and priesthood
Carlevale was born in Rome on 8 April 1971. He completed his studies for the priesthood at the Pontifical Roman Major Seminary and was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Rome on 3 May 1998 by Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Basilica.[1][2]
Following his ordination, he served in various pastoral and administrative capacities within the Vicariate of Rome. He was the parish vicar of Santa Galla alla Garbatella from 1998 to 2003, and subsequently of Sant'Ireneo a Centocelle from 2003 to 2009. He then spent six years as an assistant at the Pontifical Roman Major Seminary (2009–2015) before serving as the parish priest of Santa Maria di Loreto in Castelverde-Lunghezza from 2015 to 2025. In 2025, he was appointed parish priest of San Giovanni Battista de Rossi.[3]
Episcopate
On 25 February 2026, Pope Leo XIV appointed him as an Auxiliary Bishop of Rome, assigning him the titular see of Atella.[3][4]
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, Carlevale was formally assigned pastoral responsibility over the South Sector (Settore Sud) of the diocese.[2][5] He received his episcopal consecration on 2 May 2026 at the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran by Pope Leo XIV as a principal consecrator, with Cardinal Baldassare Reina and Cardinal Angelo De Donatis as co-consecrators.[4]
