Biography
Blessed Antonio Lucci, also known as the "Angel of the Poor," was born on August 2, 1681, in Agnone, Isernia, in the kingdom of Sicily (now modern Italy). He was the son of Francesco Lucci, a cobbler and coppersmith, and Angela Paolantonio. From his early years, Antonio was raised in a devout household and received his education from the Franciscans, which instilled in him a deep devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary.
