In 1953, at the age of 24 years, he became a professed priest of the Opera of Don Calabria in Verona. From the outset he visited many cities of Italy and became in charge of the spiritual formation of young people. In 1959, he was called to Rome by Luigi Cardinal Traglia, who appointed him assistant pastor of the Parish of St. Cyprian and, at the same time, assigned him to work at the Curia of the Vicariate of Rome.

Death A few days before his death on 3 July 2013 Manzetti got a call from Pope Francis, who was a frequent temporary guest and Mons. Manzetti's next-door neighbor at the Domus Internationalis Paulus VI before the Conclave of March 2013. The pope expressed his sincere concern about Manzetti's medical condition. The pope also conveyed through Manzetti his greetings to all the hospital staff and patients. During the long phone call Mons. Manzetti asked the Pope's blessing. In response, the pope said that he would only bless the prelate after having himself received the blessing of Manzetti. Following the call of the pope was the visit of Cardinal Paolo Sardi, whom Mons. Manzetti asked to support and promote the hospital Magliana, for the sake of the sick. In his life, Manzetti was able to meet and to work with five saints: Don Giovanni Calabria, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, Josemaría Escrivá (Founder of Opus Dei), Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II.
