This article is about a medieval Christian sect. For modern movements with similar names, see Apostolic United Brethren.
The Apostolic Brethren (sometimes referred to as Apostolici,[1]Apostoli, or Apostolics[1]) were a Christian sect founded in northern Italy in the latter half of the 13th century by Gerard Segarelli, a native of Alzano in the territory of Parma. He was of low birth and without education, applied for membership in the Franciscan order at Parma, and was rejected. Ultimately he resolved to devote himself to the restoration of what he conceived to be the apostolic manner of life.[2] Most of the spirit of the movement continued in the Dulcinian movement.
