Tiberio Carafa (bishop)

Tiberio Carafa (1580 – 1642) was an Italian Roman Catholic bishop. He belonged to the noble Carafa family, a prominent Neapolitan family that produced several cardinals and other important figures.

Carafa served as the Bishop of Andria from 1624 until his death in 1642. During his episcopate, he likely oversaw the administration of the diocese, including the appointment of clergy, management of church properties, and enforcement of Catholic doctrine. Specific details regarding his activities as Bishop of Andria are somewhat scarce, as records from that period can be incomplete or lost.

His position within the influential Carafa family undoubtedly played a role in his appointment and may have influenced his actions as bishop. He would have been involved in the religious and political landscape of Southern Italy during a period marked by Counter-Reformation efforts and the continued influence of the papacy. Further research into the diocesan archives of Andria and relevant historical sources could provide a more detailed account of his contributions and activities.
