Who they were
A young Barnabite student from the Mantua countryside who died of illness at twenty-two.
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 opened at Milan on 9 May 1967 and he was declared Venerable in 1994.
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.
