Baldinucci, Anthony, Blessed
Born on 19 June 1665 in Florence, Italy ; died on 6 November 1717 . Italian Jesuit missionary. He labored in the neighborhood of Frascati and Viterbo, Italy , his work being characterized by processions, during which Anthony and many of his flock scourged themselves with disciplines; his success was largely due to his propagation of devotion to the Blessed Virgin, whose image was always carried before him on his missions.
