Biography

Blessed Gabriel Ferretti, also known as Gabriel of Ancona, was born in 1385 in Ancona, Italy. He belonged to the Italian nobility and was the eldest son of Count Liverotto of Ferretti and Lady Alvisia. Despite his privileged background, at the age of 18, Gabriel made the courageous decision to leave his worldly position behind and join the Franciscan Friars Minor at the convent of San Francesco in Ancona.
