BEDETTI, Giuseppe, Servant of God. - Priest, b. in Bologna on 23 July 1799, d. there on 4 Jan. 1889. Since in his youth he had been unable, because of his health, to remain in the Jesuit novitiate, he became a helper of the suffering and the needy in charity, giving everything to the poor. He directed congregations of artisans, particularly porters and shoemakers, and from 1838 to 1861 he established a type of "night school" that was soon imitated. He was archpriest of the cathedral and a Servite tertiary. In 1923 the informative process was begun.
