Biography
Blessed Girolamo Ginelli, also known as Girolamo de Ginelli, Girolamo of Ancona, or Jerome, was born in June 1451 in Ancona, Italy. He was born into the Italian nobility, but at a young age, he felt a strong calling towards religious life. At the age of 16, Girolamo joined the Franciscan tertiaries at the San Sebastian convent in Ancona.
