Biography
Mario Meini was born on 17 November 1946 in Legoli, a village in the Italian comune of Peccioli, which is located in Tuscany. He received his secondary education at the Minor Seminary of Volterra and studied theology at the Pontifical Regional Seminary "Pius XII" of Siena. He later received a doctorate in theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome.

As bishop, Meini took the Latin motto "Pax et Lux," which in English means "Peace and Light."
Following a pastoral visit on 25 May 2002, Meini announced that there would be a diocesan synod, and promulgated the synodal documents on 22 March 2005.
Pope Benedict XVI. appointed Meini to succeed Luciano Giovannetti as Bishop of Fiesole on 13 February 2010. He assumed his bishopric on 18 April 2010.
