Francesco Lippi
Franco Lippi, O.Carm., or Francesco, also known as Franco of Siena, (3 December 1211 – 11 December 1291) was an Italian hermit and Carmelite friar. He lived his life as a soldier before suffering the loss of his sight, the miraculous healing of which led him down the path of repentance and into the Carmelite Order.
Lippi was considered beatified in 1670, when Pope Clement X approved Lippi's longstanding local cultus (or popular devotion).
