Antonio da Stroncone
Antonio da Stroncone (1391 – 7 February 1461) was an Italian friar of the Order of Friars Minor. He became a member of that order in his youth after cultivating a strong devotion to Francis of Assisi during his childhood with his parents who were members of the Third Order of Saint Francis.
His beatification received formal confirmation from Pope Innocent XI on 28 June 1687 after the pontiff ratified the friar's enduring and local 'cultus' - otherwise known as popular veneration. His uncle was the Franciscan friar Giovanni da Stroncone.
