Nosiglia was born in 1944 in Rossiglione, Italy. He was ordained a priest for the diocese of Acqui on 29 June 1968 at the age of 23. Nosiglia was sent to Rome for further studies in theology. He obtained a licence in theology from the Lateran University and a licentiate in Sacred Scripture from the Pontifical Biblical Institute. After several years in a parish, he received a commission from the National Catechetical Office, where he remained from 1971 to 1991 and later as Deputy Director.

On 6 July 1991 he was appointed as Auxiliary Bishop of Rome and Titular Bishop of Victoriana by Pope John Paul II. In this role he assisted the cardinal vicar for the diocese of Rome, Camillo Ruini, with the pastoral care of the people in Rome. He was ordained a bishop on 14 September 1991 by Cardinal Ruini. On 19 July 1996 he was appointed archbishop ad personam.
