New Appointment After Strange Resignation
This follows one of the more unusual diplomatic incidents of the past year.
On 15 March 2025, Pope Francis had named Monsignor Dellagiovanna as Apostolic Nuncio to Burkina Faso. He was consecrated as a bishop by Cardinal Pietro Parolin in Rome on 25 April 2025.
However, his tenure was unusually brief, lasting only five months. On 15 August 2025, his resignation from the Burkina Faso post was quietly accepted with the appointment of a successor.
The resignation remains unexplained. According to the Italian blog Cielo e Roma, the move was allegedly due to health reasons.
Dellagiovanna joined the Holy See’s diplomatic service in 2005. He served in the nunciatures of Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Italy, as well as in the Secretariat of State’s Section for General Affairs.
In August 2019, AciStampa.com reported that he was Cardinal Pietro Parolin’s ghostwriter.
