Biografía

Beato Gabriel Ferretti, también conocido como Gabriel de Ancona, nació en 1385 en Ancona, Italia. Pertenecía a la nobleza italiana y era el hijo mayor del conde Liverotto de Ferretti y de la señora Alvisia. A pesar de su privilegiada condición, a los dieciocho años, Gabriel tomó la valiente decisión de dejar atrás su posición mundana y unirse a los Frailes Menores Franciscanos en el convento de San Francisco de Ancona.
