PAVONI, Antonio, Blessed. - Dominican inquisitor and martyr, b. at Savigliano in 1326, d. at Bricherasio on 9 April 1374. He took the religious habit in the convent of Savigliano (ca. 1341), of which he was repeatedly prior. He was a master in theology.

Killed by the heretic Pietro Cambiani da Ruffia on 2 February 1365, P. was called to succeed him as inquisitor general for Piedmont, Lombardy and Liguria. For his zeal in the exercise of his office, he was targeted by the Waldensian heretics and stabbed while leaving the church of Bricherasio on Low Sunday, as he himself had foretold. Pius IX confirmed his cult on 4 December 1856. Feast day 9 April.
