Filippo della Torre (1 May 1657 – 25 February 1717) was an Italian humanist, antiquarian and Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Adria (1702-1717).
[1] Filippo della Torre was born in 1657, of a noble family at Cividale del Friuli.
[2] His connexions with Ottavio Ferrari, one of the most distinguished Italian philologists, increased his natural taste for that study.
Having settled at Rome, he gained the esteem and friendship of the cardinals Imperiali and Noris, pope Innocent XII and Clement XI.
[2] While at Rome he published a work on the antiquities of Antium, Monumenta veteris Antii, which was much esteemed by contemporary scholars.
