Antonio da Stroncone (1391 – 7 February 1461) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious from the Order of Friars Minor.[1] He became a member of that order in his late childhood after cultivating a strong devotion to Francis of Assisi during his childhood with his parents who were also Franciscans.[2][3]
His beatification received formal confirmation from Pope Innocent XI on 28 June 1687 after the pontiff ratified the friar's enduring and local 'cultus' - otherwise known as popular veneration. His uncle was the Franciscan friar Giovanni da Stroncone.[4]
