Who they were

A Tuscan bar worker from Seano who was expelled from the Italian Communist Party for reading and discussing the Gospel, and later gathered a lay cenacle. santiebeati.it dates him 21 January 1913 to 6 October 1993, where the Hagiography Circle has 1 March 1921 to 6 October 1983; the Catholic source is followed here.

The miracles

No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.

Why that counted as sanctity

His cause opened in the diocese of Prato on 8 October 2022.

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.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
