Biography

Blessed Philip Rinaldi, also known as Filippo Rinaldi or Philippi Rinaldi, was born on 28 May 1856 in Lu, Monferrato, Piedmont, Italy. At the age of five, Philip had a fortuitous encounter with Don Bosco, the future saint, and immediately recognized the importance of this meeting. Although he initially considered a religious vocation, he was torn between that path and the possibility of marriage.
