Father '''Candido Amantini''' (1914 - September 22, 1992) was an Italian [[Roman Catholic]] [[priest]] and a full-time exorcist. He also taught Sacred Scripture and moral theology. He produced a book entitled ''Il Mistero di Maria,'' about the [[Virgin Mary]].
For thirty-six years Fr. Amantini, a [[Passionist]] stationed at the church of the Holy Staircase, was the chief exorcist of [[Rome]]. He would often see 60 to 80 people a day. [[Pio of Pietrelcina|Padre Pio]] said of him, "Father Candido is a priest after God's heart."
Father [[Gabriele Amorth]] became his apprentice, in June of 1986, and then eventually took over his position. After a painful illness, he died on the Feast of Saint Candido, his patron saint.
