Italian original Cite

ROMANO, Vincenzo, Venerable. - Born at Torre del Greco (Naples) on June 3, 1751, died there on Dec. 20, 1831, after almost 35 years of parochial ministry.

He entered the Seminary of Naples in 1765 and tried to be admitted into the Society of Jesus. A priest in 1775, he carried out an intense spiritual and social ministry during political upheavals and numerous Vesuvian eruptions that sorely tried his city. On March 25, 1895, Leo XIII declared the heroicity of his virtues, expressing the wish that the secular clergy of Italy might have, in a not distant time, a sublime example of a parish priest.
