Venerable Jean Dominique Lucchesi

Jean Dominique Lucchesi (1652–1714) was born in Pescaglia on May 18, 1652. He entered the Carmelite Order in 1670, in a convent belonging to the Congregation of Mantua. After being ordained a priest, he was sent to the convent in Viterbo, where he remained until his death on March 18, 1714. His beatification process began shortly after his death but was interrupted after three years. It did not resume until 1907, only to be deferred again in 1913. His relics have been transferred to a church in Rome.
