Arcangelo Canetoli

Blessed Arcangelo Canetoli (1460 - 16 April 1513) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a canon regular of Santa Maria di Reno. Canetoli escaped the massacre of his parents and brothers who were killed in Bologna during a political feud and embraced the religious life not long after where he became noted to the point he turned down repeated offers to serve as the Archbishop of Bologna and the Archbishop of Florence. His beatification received full approval on 2 October 1748 after Pope Benedict XIV approved the late priest's local 'cultus' - or popular devotion.
