Biography
This Italian lawyer and professor, born in Milan, lover of nature and mountaineering, lived in celibacy and poverty for the love of God, being a Franciscan tertiary. It can be said that he is a model of a current saint since he is known for having a life marked by Christian virtues: firm faith, simplicity, the asceticism of work carried out with competence and professionalism, the affirmation of Catholic sentiment and the coherence of thought and practice.
