Ordained priest on April 16, 1870, he was soon named parish priest of Sant'Angelo in Pescheria. At the early age of thirty six, Pope Leo XIII elected him bishop of the diocese of Ripatransone, receiving his episcopal concentration on April 2, 1882 from Cardinal Raffaele Monaco La Valletta. Completing the pastoral visit, improving the seminary and calling the diocesan synod during his eight year stay in the Marche, called back to Rome on June 23, 1890 to serve as auxiliary for the diocese of Rome, he was transferred to the titular see of Tiberiade, serving under the then vicar Cardinal Lucido Maria Parocchi. Assistant at the Pontifical Throne, consultor of the Sacred Congregation for Indulgences and Relics and clergy examiner at the Vicariate of Rome, he succeeded Msgr. Francesco di Paola Cassetta on his elevation to the cardinalite as vice-gerent of the diocese of Rome on July 24, 1899, being promoted to the titular archbishopric see of Mira a week later. A close collaborator to Cardinal Vicars Domenico Maria Jacobini, Pietro Respighi and Basilio Pompilj, shortly before his death, Leo XIII promoted him anew to the titular patriarchate of Constantinople, naming him as well as canon of the chapter of Saint Peter's Patriarchal Vatican Basilica on June 22, 1903. Consultor of the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office, as vice-gerent he ordained to the priesthood candidates from across the globe, including future cardinals Massimo Massimi, Enrico Dante, Carlo Grano, Francis Joseph Spellman, the Servant of God, Monsignor Giuseppe De Piro, founder of the Missionary Society of Saint Paul, and most notably, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, future Saint Pope John XXIII, the church of Santa Maria in Montesanto, in Piazza del Popolo. Ceppetelli passed away in his native Rome, three days short of his seventieth birthday, and was laid to rest at the local Campo Verano Cemetery.
