Bernardine of Feltre (1439–1494)

Born 1439 CE, died 1494 CE.

Bernardine of Feltre (sometimes Bernardinus of Feltre; 1439 – 28 September 1494) was a Friar Minor and missionary who was born in Feltre, Italy and died in Pavia. He is remembered in connection with the monti di pietà of which he was the reorganizer and, in a certain sense, the founder, together with Michele Carcano. The feast of Blessed Bernardino is kept in the Order of Friars Minor on 28 September. He was beatified by Pope Innocent X on 13 April 1654 via the confirmation of his cult. The cause for his sainthood was opened on 7 April 1870.
