Lorenzo da Ripafratta (1373 - 27 September 1456) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious from the Order of Preachers.[1] He was born to nobles in Pisa and served as a novice master in Cortona in the latter half of his career while distinguishing himself in aiding the ill during times of the plague in both Pistoia and Fabriano.[2]
He was beatified on 4 April 1851 when Pope Pius IX approved that there existed an enduring and local 'cultus' - or popular devotion - to the late friar.
