Having received his doctorate in medicine and surgery from the University of Bologna in 1899, Angelillis practiced medicine in his hometown, shaping himself as a paradigm of the doctor-herudite, a widespread typology in the cultural landscape of early 20th-century southern Italy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1904 he moved to Lucera, where he directed the periodical &#8220;Il Foglietto&#8221; from 1914 to 1917 and collaborated with the lawyer Filippo Ungaro in founding the &#8220;Gazzettino del Gargano.&#8221; His scholarly production focused mainly on the ecclesiastical, civil and artistic history of the Gargano territory, with a chronological distribution that sees the first monographs in the early twentieth century and the main core of production in the period 1945-1950, mainly in the form of contributions in specialized periodicals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His first work, <em>Monte S. Angelo<\/em> (1903), inaugurated a research path articulated through different textual typologies: from biography<em>(G. Tommaso Giordani letterato e patriota pugliese<\/em>, 1907) to prosopography<em>(Profili di personaggi antichi e moderni della citt\u00e0 di Monte S. Angelo<\/em>, 1908), from institutional studies<em>(L&#8217;antichissimo Comune di Monte S. Angelo<\/em>, 1914) to the history of sacred art<em>(Le porte di bronzo bizantine nelle Chiese d&#8217;Italia e le imposte della Basilica di Monte S. Angelo<\/em>, 1924). Particularly relevant appears his interest in religious and monastic history, evidenced by works such as <em>Un punto inesplorato nella vita del poverello d&#8217;Assisi, il pellegrinaggio al Gargano<\/em> (1928) and <em>Pulsano e l&#8217;ordine monastico pulsanese<\/em> (1953). Late production includes contributions on medieval history<em>(La Croce di Federico II nella Chiesa di S. Michele in Monte S. Angelo<\/em>, 1936) and modern history<em>(Nuove luci sulle vicende della regina Giovanna I di Napoli<\/em>, 1937).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bibliography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Angelillis, C.
