Bartolomeo Fanti
Bartolomeo Fanti (c. 1428 - 5 December 1495) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest from the Carmelite order in Mantua. Fanti served as the spiritual director and rector of a religious movement in his hometown and oversaw the establishment of their rule and statutes while himself serving as a novice master for his own order where he became known for being an effective preacher.
Pope Pius X beatified Fanti on 18 March 1909 upon the confirmation of his local 'cultus' - or popular devotion - rather than following the main process for beatification.
