Blessed Alberto da Bergamo (1214 – 7 May 1279) was an Italian Roman Catholic farmer from Bergamo and a professed member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic. He was married in his adulthood to a wife who disapproved of his generous nature to the poor before her conversion and death and he spent his initial widowhood going on several pilgrimages to Rome as well as visits to both Spain and Jerusalem. He was beatified in 1748 after Pope Benedict XIV confirmed that there existed a longstanding local 'cultus' - or popular devotion - to the late farmer.
