Early career and diplomacy
Agostino Marchetto was born in Vicenza, Italy, on 28 August 1940. He was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Vicenza on 28 June 1964.[1]
To prepare for a diplomatic career he entered the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy in 1964.[2] He entered the diplomatic service of the Holy See in 1968 and worked in the offices of the papal representative to Zambia, Cuba, Algeria, Portugal, and Mozambique.[1]
On 31 August 1985, Pope John Paul II appointed him titular archbishop of Astigi and Apostolic Pro-Nuncio to both Madagascar and Mauritius.[3] He received his episcopal consecration on 1 November 1985 from Cardinal Sebastiano Baggio.Шаблон:Cn On 7 December 1990, Pope John Paul named him Apostolic Pro-Nuncio to Tanzania.[4] On 18 May 1994, Pope John Paul named him Apostolic Nuncio to Belarus.[5] He took up a position in the offices of the Secretariat of State in Rome on 16 April 1996.[1]

Curial official
On 6 November 2001, he was named Secretary of the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerants.[1][7]
In that role he frequently commented on current issues in language calculated to draw headlines. In 2006, Marchetto tied the World Cup in Germany to human trafficking for prostitution, giving “some 'red cards' ... to this industry, to its clients", and the host country. In 2007, he called homelessness a "global pandemic" that merits a global response on the scale of to HIV/AIDS. In 2009, he criticized the Berlusconi government of Italy for repatriating Libyans intercepted at sea. He objected to a new Italian immigration law that made clandestine movement a criminal offense, calling that feature the law's "original sin". He denounced the Sarkozy government in France for expelling Roma people en masse, assigning collective guilt and ignoring individual responsibility.[8]
He resigned his curial position on 25 August 2010.[8]
On 9 July 2023, Pope Francis announced he plans to make him a cardinal at a consistory scheduled for 30 September.[9] At that consistory he was made cardinal deacon of Santa Maria Goretti.[10]
