Francesco Fasola (23 February 1898 – 1 July 1988) was an Italian member of the Congregatio Oblatorum Sanctorum Gaudentii et Caroli Novariae who served as the Archbishop of Messina from 1963 until his retirement in 1977.

He was reluctant to accept his new position as a coadjutor much less as a bishop in general; he arrived in Agrigento to commence his pastoral duties there on 20 June 1954.

He made two pastoral visits during his time as coadjutor and also worked for the renovation of the diocesan museum in addition to ensuring the refurbishment of churches.

[1][2] Fasola later received a letter on 19 August 1960 that informed him that he was to become the Bishop of Caltagirone which was formalized when Pope John XXIII appointed him to the position on 11 November 1960.

He arrived at Sacro Monte di Varallo on 30 July 1977 after having stopped in Pompeii and Alatri in addition to making a brief detour to Rome.

[1] The beatification process opened on 30 September 2005 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official nihil obstat (no objections) edict and titled Fasola as a Servant of God.
