Albert Berdini of Sarteano


Blessed Albert Berdini, O.F.M., was a Franciscan friar and preacher, born in 1385 in the town of Sarteano, which lies in the Province of Siena in the Tuscan region of Italy. He entered the Order of Friars Minor Conventuals in 1405. Later, however, he was drawn by the reform of St. Bernardine of Siena, whose fame was spreading throughout Italy. Berdini became desirous of following more strictly the Rule of St. Francis which Bernardine was promoting and he transferred over to the Observant Friars Minor, becoming one of the companions of the great Apostle of the Holy Name of Jesus.
