Blessed Alberto Berdini Of Sarteano

Blessed Alberto Berdini of Sarteano, also known as Alberto Berdini, Alberto of Sarteano, and the King of Preachers, was born in 1385 in Sarteano, Tuscany, Italy. In 1405, he joined the Minor Conventuals, a Franciscan religious order, but later felt a call to evangelism and a more disciplined life, leading him to become an Observant Friar Minor in 1415.
