Saint Andrew Corsini
(1302-1373)
Confessor, Bishop of Fiesole, apostle of Florence, born Florence; died Fiesole.
Repenting his dissolute youth, he joined the Carmelite Order.
He was consecrated Bishop of Fiesole, 1360, and was sought everywhere as a peacemaker; at Bologna he made peace between the nobility and the people.
Miracles multiplied at his death.
He is represented holding a cross, with a wolf and lamb at his feet, and floating above a battlefield on a cloud or a white palfrey.
Canonized, 1629.
Relics at Florence.
Feast, Roman Calendar, 4 February.
