Biography
Blessed Ambrose Sansedoni of Siena, also known as Ambrogio Sansedoni or Ambrose Sansedone, was born on April 16, 1220, in Siena, Italy. He was the son of a book illuminator, and from his early days, it was evident that he was physically deformed. In fact, his condition was so severe that his mother entrusted his care to a nurse. However, it was noticed that the child found solace and peace in the local Dominican church, particularly when he was near the altar of relics.
