Who they were
A Passionist novice who died of tuberculosis at Monte Argentario aged fourteen.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The decree on heroic virtues has been promulgated; a miracle would come next.
Why that counted as sanctity
His cause was handled by the Passionists in the diocese of Pitigliano-Sovana-Orbetello, and John Paul II declared him Venerable on 27 November 1981.
The cause
The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.
