Biography

Saint Jerome Emiliani, also known as Geronimo, Gerolamo Miani, Girolamo, or Jerom Aemiliani, was born in 1481 in Venice, Italy. He was born into a wealthy family, the son of Angelo and Eleanor Mauroceni Emiliani. However, tragedy struck when Jerome's father passed away when he was just a teenager. Left to his own devices, Jerome ran away from home at the young age of 15.
