MARTINENGO, DOMENICO. - Missionary of St. Vincent, b. at Savona on 17 Dec. 1816, d. there on 1 Oct. 1875. He entered the Congregation of the Mission at Savona on 9 Aug. 1835, and took his vows on 15 Aug. 1837. He completed his studies at Sarzana and at the Alberoni College in Piacenza. As a priest, he directed the conferences and retreats for the clergy in the diocese of Casale Monferrato; then he taught literature at Sarzana and at Finale Marina.
Struck by a serious illness, he devoted his last years to the publication of useful pamphlets (La parrocchia; La verità vera; Agli operai, ammonimenti e ricordi; Il Concilio Vaticano, etc.) for the diffusion of good literature among the people. For this purpose he also founded a Society for the diffusion of good books. The well-known work of M., Pio VII in Savona, memorie storiche (Turin 1888), remained unfinished and was completed by his brother Francesco.
