Carlo Vittorio Amedeo delle Lanze

Carlo Vittorio Amedeo Delle Lanze (1712–1784) was an Italian clergyman, a Roman Catholic cardinal.

[1][2] In his youth, Delle Lanze was supposed to be close to Jansenism, but in his late life he was a supporter of the Jesuits and part of the zelanti.

Ordained as priest in 1736, he did his pastoral work in Turin as spiritual assistant of young people and university students.

In 1747, he was named cardinal and archbishop of Nicosia; two years later, he received the commenda of the Abbey of Fruttuaria in northern Piedmont.

He presided over the marriage between Victor Amadeus III of Savoy and Maria Antonia Ferdinanda of Spain.
