Andrea Lazzari (16 August 1754 – 6 December 1831) was an Italian historian and clergyman, known for his significant contributions to the history of Urbino.
[2] Due to his expertise in literature, he was appointed as a professor of eloquence at the seminary in Jesi and later in Pesaro, where he also served as the rector.
After the death of Monsignor Barsanti, he returned to Urbino and became the archpriest of the parish of San Martino in 1785 and the provost of the church of Santo Spirito in 1794,[2] where he worked from 1795 to 1816.
[2][3] Under Pope Pius VI, he received numerous accolades in his ecclesiastical career, serving as a deputy in Rome for the Community of Urbino and Montefeltro in 1797 (an administrative entity in the historical region of Marche, during the pre-unification period).
[3] He was also a major source for Gaetano Moroni in the compilation of his work "Dizionario di erudizione storico-ecclesiastica" (Dictionary of Historical-Ecclesiastical Erudition).
