Giovanni Pelingotto
Giovanni Pelingotto (1240 – 1 June 1304) was an Italian Roman Catholic member of the Secular Franciscan Order who hailed from Urbino and lived his life as an almsgiver and hermit. Pelingotto served in his father's business before he quit and provided as much alms as he could provide to the less fortunate in his area. This led him into contact with the Franciscans which served to open him to a greater plane of servitude to God and the poor.
Pelingotto was beatified on 13 November 1918 when Pope Benedict XV confirmed the late Franciscan's local 'cultus' (or popular devotion).
