Biography

Blessed Mark Fantucci, also known as Marcus Fantuzzi, Marco Fantucci, Marcus of Bologna, Pace, or Pasotto, was born around 1405 in Bologna, Italy. Coming from a wealthy family, he received an excellent education and pursued a career in law, gaining recognition as a successful lawyer. However, in his mid-20s, he felt a deep calling to religious life and made the courageous decision to leave his prosperous career behind to enter the Franciscan Order in 1430.
