Who they were
Andrea Giacinto Longhin was born on 23 November 1863 at Fiumicello di Campodarsego near Padua, to poor, devout tenant farmers. A Capuchin friar, he was ordained on 19 June 1886 and was given to Treviso as its bishop by St Pius X.
In wartime he did everything he could for refugees and prisoners, and in hard times he defended the rights of workers, farmers and all the weak. He died on 26 June 1936 with a reputation for holiness already in his lifetime.
