Biography

Blessed Peter Gambacorta, also known as Peter of Pisa, was born on February 15, 1355, in Pisa, Italy. He was the son of a government official and had a sister, Blessed Clara Gambacorta. From a young age, Peter was exposed to a life at court, which led him astray and resulted in a misspent youth.
