Pietro Antonio Crespi Castoldi (Busto Arsizio 7 February 1557 - 10 November 1615) was an Italian historian and Catholic priest.
Biography
[edit]He was born on 7 February 1557 in Busto Arsizio, and was ordained a priest in 1581 by Charles Borromeo. He was a priest in Morazzone, a small town near Varese.[1]
He remained priest at Morazzone until 1589, when he returned to Busto Arsizio, to curate the Basilica of Saint John the Baptist, after an epidemic hit much of the congregation.[2] He also served as curator of the Basilica's archives.[citation needed]
In 1614 he wrote “De oppido Busti relationes”. Written in Latin, it became one of his most important works, and was translated by Luigi Belotti into Italian from 1925 to 1927.[3]
