Biography

Blessed Archangelus Piacentini, also known as Arcangelo Placenza, was born into a noble family in Calatafimi, Sicily, Italy around the year 1390. From a young age, he exhibited a quiet and pious disposition, which led him to pursue a life of solitude and prayer. At a certain point, Arcangelus decided to live as a hermit and found refuge in a cave near the Church of Santa Maria dei Giubino in Sicily.
