Born in Sliema, Malta, Don Nazzareno Camilleri joined the Salesians of Don Bosco at San Gregorio, Catania, in 1922, and took his first vows in October of the following year.
In 1926 he entered the Gregorian University in Rome from where graduated in philosophy. In 1931 he pursued his theological studies and was ordained to the priesthood in Malta in 1934. After his ordination he was appointed professor of theology and prefect of studies to the Salesians at San Callisto in Rome. In 1937 Camilleri was nominated professor of moral theology at the Pontificio Ateneo Satesiano in Crocetta, Turin. He submitted his thesis in January 1940 and in June of that year was awarded a doctorate 'summa cum laude'. Between 1945 and 1954, he served as dean of the faculty of theology at the International Institute in Turin. Camilleri taught many international students, including future Cardinal, Raúl Silva Henríquez (1907 - 1999), of Chile, and several future Salesian bishops.
Interned during the Second World War, Camilleri participated in the Third International Philosophy Congress of Thomistic Studies in 1949, the First General Congress of Religious Orders in 1950 and the First International Pedagogical Congress for Religious Nuns in 1951. Due to ill health, he gave up teaching in 1966. Don Nazzareno died in Rome and is buried at Genzano Cemetery near Rome in the chapel of the Salesian Fathers. Much admired for his spirituality and in 1994, the Salesian Order issued a decree stating that the process leading to his canonization had started.
A prolific religious writer, Camilleri published his thesis, "De natura actus visionis beatificae apud theologos post Tjidentinos: ciitica inquisitio positivo-scholastica in sententiarn de visione Dei intuitive per comunicationem actus increati" (Turin, 1944); "Principi di Educazione Cristiana" (Turin 1960); "I Novissimi e la Comunieone dei Santi" (Brescia, 1961); "La Grande Indulgenza del Lavoro" (Turin, 1962); "Opera e spirito della Santa Maria Dom. Mazzarello Co-fondatrice delle suore salesiane" (Turin, 1962); and "La Maestra delle Novizie" (Turin, 1962). He also published several spiritual writings in Salesian journals.
