Born in Soriano nel Cimino (Viterbo) on December 27, 1865.
Died in Rome on April 12, 1934.
A student of the Capranica College, ordained a priest, he entered the Apostolic Penitentiary and was undersecretary of the Congregation for Religious from 29 November 1909 to 16 February 1916. Shortly before, on 6 December 1915, he had been elected titular archbishop of Nicosia and destined as the first apostolic interuncio at the Republic of Haiti. On 2 March 1920 he moved to Belgrade as the first apostolic nuncio to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, but resigned for health reasons in July 1922. Returning to Rome he was appointed Vatican canon on 10 December 1922.
As secretary of the Congregation for Religious he countersigned, together with the cardinal prefect *Vives y Tutó, the rescript of November 14, 1912 which granted Fr Guanella the faculty to present to any bishop candidates for promotion to holy orders community title. On March 12, 1915 Don Guanella visited him in his office to get clarifications on certain new norms of the dicastery of religious relating to constitutional texts and obtained the assurance from Msgr. Cherubini that «nothing is at our expense», as the Founder immediately reported to Father *Claudio Benedetti.
