ISNARDO DA CHIAMPO, Blessed. - Dominican (also I. da Vicenza or da Pavia), b. at Chiampo (Vicenza) toward the end of the 12th century, d. at Pavia on 19 March 1244.

Having taken the habit of St. Dominic, probably at Bologna, he then moved to Milan, and afterward, around 1230, to Pavia, where he formed a friendship with the holy bishop Redobald II, from whom in 1231 he received the church of S. Maria di Nazareth in order to found a monastery of his Order. There he was prior, carrying on an effective apostolate, enriched also by the gift of miracles. He was entrusted by the Chapter of the cathedral of Tours with administering all its property in Italy. In 1919 the proper Office and Mass were approved (AAS, 11 [1919], p. 481). Feast on 22 March.
