Lorenzo da Ripafratta
Lorenzo da Ripafratta (1373 – 27 September 1456) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious from the Order of Preachers. He was born to nobles in Pisa and served as a novice master in Cortona in the latter half of his career while distinguishing himself in aiding the ill during times of the plague in both Pistoia and Fabriano.
He was beatified on 4 April 1851 when Pope Pius IX approved that there existed an enduring and local 'cultus'—or popular devotion—to the late friar.
