Italian original Cite

FALCONE, GIUSEPPE. - Born in Naples on July 4, 1802, died there on June 13, 1866. He belonged to the Congregation of the Mission (admitted on Dec. 3, 1816) and for several years devoted himself to the ministry of missions and to spiritual exercises for the clergy in the then Kingdom of Naples.

Forced by illness into inactivity at a still vigorous age, he set about composing ascetical booklets, which met with considerable success. The principal ones are: Gesù dalla Croce al cuore del mandano (Naples 1825, 6th ed. there 1848); Raccolta di sacre indulgenze (there 1848); Vita cristiana (Bari 1842); Raccolta di sacre cerimonie (Naples 1850).
