Early life and priesthood

Casimiro Gennari was born in Maratea, Basilicata. He did his initial studies with the Jesuits in Naples and at the seminary of Salerno.

He was ordained to the priesthood on 21 March 1863 in Salerno. He then did pastoral care in the diocese of Conversano. He was the founder of the monthly Il Monitore Ecclesiastico, to help the clergy be in tune with the teaching of the Church, and was the first of its kind.

He was appointed as Bishop of Conversano on 13 May 1881. He was consecrated, two days later by Cardinal Edward Howard. He was named assessor of the Congregation of the Holy Office on 15 November 1895. He was promoted to the titular see of Lepanto on 6 February 1897 but retained the administration of the see of Conversano.
