This young Father was born on 30 November, 1791. He owed his birth to the prayers of his parents. His life was a continued ecstasy towards the Most Blessed Sacrament and the Most Blessed Virgin. He was professed on 24 October, 1807, and ordained a priest on Christmas Day, 25 December, 1815. But he was never to preach even a single Mission and died two months later at the age of 25 on 24 February, 1816 at Vietride Potenza. His holy tomb has been glorified by numerous miracles. †
