Antoine Philibert Albert Bailly

Antoine Philibert Albert Bailly (1 March 1605 - 3 April 1691) was a Savoyard clergyman who was bishop of Aosta from 1659 until his death. Although not a native of the Aosta Valley, Bailly remains, as a devoted defenser of local freedoms, a cultural and historical figure of the valley. He is considered by Lin Colliard as "the best and the most prolific Valdôtain writer of the time" and Rosanna Gorris stated that "the most important writer of Valdôtain 17th century literature is certainly Albert Bailly, bishop of Aosta".
