Italian Franciscan priest and blessed

Pietro Corradini

Pietro Corradini

Peter of Mogliano was a 15th-century Italian Franciscan priest known for his preaching and spiritual guidance. Born into a prominent family in Macerata in 1435, he initially pursued legal studies, earning a doctorate in Perugia. However, a sermon inspired him to join the Order of Friars Minor in 1467. He eventually rose to several leadership roles within his order, serving as a provincial for the Marche region and acting as a representative to Rome.

After joining the Franciscans, Corradini became a traveling preacher in the Marche region. He served as a commissioner in Crete and acted as a protégé to James of the Marches. He was also a spiritual director and confessor for Camilla Battista da Varano. Following a brief illness and fever, he died in Fermo on July 25, 1490.
